Navorro Bowman had offers from some of the nation’s elite college football programs, but chose Penn State over a narrowed-down field that included the Nittany Lions, Virginia Tech, and Ohio State. Bowman projects as a middle linebacker in college. Last season, he was named Maryland’s Defensive Player of the Year, in addition to first team all state honors. He also had over 40 scholarship offers.
As Bowman said during his press conference, "Through the evaluation process I grew really close with the coaches and just felt comfortable with Penn State."

Penn State's Bowman declares for draft
January, 4, 2010
By Adam Rittenberg

After back-to-back first-team All-Big Ten seasons at Penn State, linebacker Navorro Bowman has decided to take his game to the next level. No one should be surprised.

Bowman has an infant son and a degree in criminal law. He has nothing to prove at the collegiate level and should be a first- or second-round pick in April's NFL draft.

"I sat down with my family and the right choice for me is to pursue the next level," Bowman told ESPN's Joe Schad. "I'm proud of my accomplishments in college, but it's also a time to take care of my family."

Bowman recorded 93 tackles, including 17 tackles for loss, to go along with two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and five passes defended this season. He did all that despite missing time early on with a groin injury. In 2008, Bowman led the Nittany Lions in tackles (106), ranked second in tackles for loss (16.5) and tied for third in sacks (4.0).

His departure leaves Penn State without all three of its starting linebackers from this season. Penn State will need to replenish its front seven for 2010, but that has rarely been a problem for coaches Tom Bradley, Larry Johnson and Ron Vanderlinden.
