It was no secret that OSU was in the quarterback market to add veteran experience at the position after Spencer Sanders hit the portal this offseason, but news of Alan Bowman’s commitment this week did come as a mild (and pleasant!) surprise. OSU needed someone who had experience and who could add some competition in the room beyond Garret Rangel, and Bowman is definitely that.
And maybe more.
Which begs the question: what does his commitment mean for OSU? What does it mean for 2023? Is he the no-brainer starter to open the 2023 season or a stopgap to help Rangel as he develops?
