Oklahoma safeties coach Brandon Hall describes Billy Bowman as a "quiet guy." But make no mistake, that doesn't mean he's not a competitive guy. While Hall, of course, sees that competitiveness on the football field, there isn't really a place he doesn't see it. "Coming over to the house, playing basketball - just anything outside of football, you start to pick up that [this] dude is always playing to win," Hall said during OU media day earlier this month. "It's not just in the weight room and stuff." Bowman's coaches and teammates have seen it, too. Among all of the players that have been discussed during the spring and fall camp, Bowman's name has been mentioned by his teammates almost more than any other.

Bowman's certainly confident entering this season. The sophomore safety enters the 2022-23 season as a projected starter on the Sooners' defense with the potential of being one of the team's biggest impact players. "I definitely felt like last season I lost some confidence," Bowman said. "But I feel like this year, [I've been able] to gain that confidence back with the new coaches coming in. During spring ball, I definitely feel like I gained my confidence back and I'm ready to go." Bowman entered last season as the starter at nickleback, assuming the starting role for five of the team's first six games. He then saw playing time at cornerback but struggled, and his playing time diminished as the season continued. He finished the season with 21 tackles, including two for a loss, in eight games. - Norman Transcript
