Coming out of high school, Nick Bowers wasn’t the highest rated tight end of the 2015 recruiting class, but was a highly athletic tight end to say the least, and ended up committing to Penn State over Pitt.
Bowers career at Penn State probably didn’t go as planned as the Kittaning, Pennsylvania native has battled his fair share of injuries during his time in Happy Valley. After a redshirt season, Bowers would go down in 2016 with an injury that would keep him out for the entire 2016 season and nearly half of 2017. He would get banged up again following the 2017 season, making him a limited option at times, during the 2018 season.
