Drayk Bowen won t come right out and say it. His humility won t allow him to.
The Andrean sophomore has emerged as one of the top prospects in the state, but instead of bragging about it, he would rather let his performance on the field speak for itself.
So far, that approach has worked well for the star linebacker, as evidenced by a scholarship offer from perhaps his most notable suitor yet â Notre Dame. It was really exciting. I was extremely happy to get the offer, Bowen said. . They were talking with my coach (Chris Skinner) a little bit, and so I called them and they asked about my grades and what my home life was like. And then (associate head coach Brian Polian) said, We re going to offer you.
Then, it all came crashing down. I knew something wasn t right for sure just because I couldn t really put too much pressure on (my left knee), Glass said. But for the first week, I didn t even know that (my left ACL) was torn, and our trainers were telling me that it might have been something with my hamstring. I didn t find out until about a week later when I took an MRI. That s when they told me.
Glass said he sustained his season-ending knee injury after catching a pass and planting awkwardly in a Week 6 win at LaPorte on Sept. 25. He walked off the field under his own power thinking he would return, but when it was confirmed that Glass high school football career was over, he was heartbroken.
