Why Alan Bowman's breakout start at Texas Tech isn't surprising to his former high school coach

Grapevine High School football coach Mike Alexander has grown accustomed to the interview requests.

“It’s funny, man,” Alexander said Wednesday. “Everybody is running the story.”

That’s because a lot of people want to know how Grapevine product Alan Bowman has gone from the 37th rated best pro-style quarterback in the class of 2018 by 247Sports to throwing for 605 yards and five touchdowns against Houston in his second start at Texas Tech.

Yes, Tech quarterbacks and big numbers go hand in hand but Bowman broke Patrick Mahomes’ school record for most passing yards by a freshman.
