Lynn Bowden has a new home. Kentucky’s versatile playmaker was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft with the No. 80 overall pick.
A four-star prospect from Youngstown, the runner-up to Mr. Football in the state of Ohio accrued 1,366 passing yards, rushing for 2,277 yards and accounting for 57 total touchdowns in his final season at Warren G. Harding. Following his senior season Bowden picked Kentucky over Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State thanks to Mark Stoops and Vince Marrow’s connections to the area.
In his first season as a Wildcat, Bowden was named to the SEC’s All-Freshman Team as a returner.
