Highlights

This Season

Rowe has been banged up over the offseason, limiting his time on the field. While he has continued working with corners, his athleticism and size make him an option at CHEETAH as well. Given his limited play over the offseason, he will likely ease into fall. However, Rowe’s potential is exciting; if he can get healthy, he can be an exciting option on defense.
