FAVORITE SLOGAN: “‘Today is a good day.’ I know it sounds kind of silly. I started that in spring football last year. When we were all sweaty and tired, just having that positive mindset pushes us to do better. People were kind of annoyed with it at first, but I think everyone realized having that positive mindset will push you to do better and get you to where you want to be.” FAVORITE SUBJECT: Life Sciences FAVORITE MUSIC ARTIST: Lecrae FAVORITE MOVIE: Remember the Titans SPORT: Football POSITIONS PLAYED: Tailback/slot receiver/cornerback
ROLE MODEL: “My dad, (Nathan Jowers). Dad grew up in Baton Rouge, La. Instead of staying local he pushed his limits and came up to the University of Arkansas. I’ve always admired him for using the gifts he had and pushing them to the full potential. He’s always been very sacrificing for my mom, my brothers and me, putting our needs ahead of his. He’s always been there for us whether it’s sports or academics. It takes a man to put his family ahead of himself.” CAREER PLANS: Considering the U.S. Air Force Academy. NOTABLE: Attended U.S. Air Force summer camp June 18-23 at Colorado Springs, Colo.
