FAMU RB Devin Bowers completes climb to scholarship

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Junior running back Devin Bowers has come a long way from his freshman year.

Coming out of St. Petersburg Northeast, Bowers didn't have any D-I scholarship offers. He came to Florida A&M as a preferred walk-on and waited for a chance to shine.

He didn't have to wait long. Bowers burst into FAMU's lineup with a strong showing against Samford during his freshman season in 2015. He ran for 144 yards and a touchdown on just 10 carries.

He proved he had potential, consistency was his biggest issue.

Bowers battled injuries during his freshman and sophomore years, but was able to impress when he was on the field. He picked up FAMU MVP honors during the Florida Classic in 2015 and led the team in rushing in 2016 with 398 yards and four touchdowns.

Now he's on full scholarship.
