Not sure about the size - but he was on the 1986 team - pre DP - and played for University of Georgia (as a KR) before returning to SMU when football returned ...
Bowen joined the Mustangs as a freshman in 1986. A year later, when football was shut down, he transferred to Georgia, only to transfer back to SMU when football returned. He was the Mustangs' leading receiver in 1990, with 60 receptions, but what he'll always be remembered for around SMU was when he caught the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against Connecticut to give the Mustangs their first victory after the death penalty. Bowen's catch gave the Ponies a 31-30 victory over UConn in a game that came to be known as "The Miracle on Mockingbird."
