‘I’ve always had a thing for Texas’ – 2027 four-star Oregon commit is still building relationships as national signing day is a long way away
Brentwood Academy (Tenn.) was set to take on Baylor School (Tenn.) last week but a Nashville thunderstorm had other ideas. Still, Rivals’ Chad Simmons caught up with four-star wide receiver prospect Kesean Bowman to discuss the latest with his recruitment.“I’m committed, but I want to keep building relationships.

Brentwood Academy (Tenn.) was set to take on Baylor School (Tenn.) last week but a Nashville thunderstorm had other ideas. Still, Rivals’ Chad Simmons caught up with four-star wide receiver prospect Kesean Bowman to discuss the latest with his recruitment.
“I’m committed, but I want to keep building relationships. I am a relationships person, so those are important to me,” he said.
Bowman committed to Oregon at the end of July. But, this one is long from over, according to folks around the Nashville area. He was at Ohio State earlier this month, now plans to see Texas, and will probably take a few more trips to Power 4 blue bloods.
Tennessee is right down the road and is going to continue to recruit him. Georgia has offered and has dipped into the Volunteer State a few times in past cycles. And the Auburn Tigers are going to push as well.
“I’ve always had a thing for Texas.”
Bowman will travel to Texas November 1. He has openly admitted his affinity for the Longhorns program on several occasions. Now, Steve Sarkisian and his staff will get its shot to make a play for a flip on the 2027 recruit.
“That visit as a freshman blew my mind. Coach Jackson is recruiting me now, and with their past success with receivers, it’s a school I want to check out.”

Texas earned the respect of an Oregon commit at last week’s Longhorns-Buckeyes matchup – so much so he has planned a visit
Brentwood Academy (Tenn.) wide receiver Kesean Bowman took a break from high school life and tripped to Columbus, Ohio for Texas-Ohio State last weekend. Afterwards, the Oregon commit was so impressed with what he saw from the Longhorns, he tells Rivals’ Chad Simmons he has planned a visit. The 6-foot-1, 174 pound 2027 prospect will […]
247Sports national scouting analyst Gabe Brooks likes Kesean Bowman’s game.
“Lean, wiry strong outside receiver who consistently makes plays in the short-to-intermediate passing game and in aerial situations. Faster top-end speedsters exist; however, speed-varying nuance is advanced,” Brooks said. “Wins with impressive acceleration and the ability to shift up and down deftly, particularly within 20 yards. Fast enough downfield with the testing data to support that.
“Strong two-way snaps at receiver and cornerback. Could legitimately play P4 ball at either spot. Major production as a sophomore with 50-plus catches, 1,000-plus yards, and eight touchdowns. Above average route runner at this stage thanks to hip-sinking flexibility; fuels sudden breaks and top-of-route juice,” Brooks said. “Lean and narrow through the core, but broad-shouldered and longer-armed to regularly expand the catch radius.
“Flashes body control and timing acumen to make contested catches. Projects to the high-major level as a potential multi-year impact player with a long-term ceiling beyond college.”
Two other programs are joining Texas in the race for Kesean Bowman.
“The atmosphere was crazy. Seeing the receivers work up close stood out. It was a short visit, but I liked it. I will definitely take an official visit to Ohio State,” he said.
Tennessee is another program staying on his mind. Bowman will make the short drive east this weekend to see the Vols host Georgia.
“I’ve been there around 10 times and they’re still recruiting me just as hard as before I committed. Coach Pope and Coach Heupel are on me every week. Every time I’m there, they show major love, and the relationships with them are really good.”
