According to Tweet, Florida Linebacker Sean Bowens Has Pledged to the Pack

According to Jon Santucci of PrepZone, Class of 2014 linebacker prospect Sean Bowens has lit the red light. The 6-2, 220-pounder from Treasure Coast High in Florida is a consensus three-star recruit and a top-75 outside backer prospect according to 247sports. One recruiting service reports that he runs a 4.5 40, which is excellent speed for anyone, let alone a linebacker.

Bowens registered 94 tackles and three sacks last season and comes from a program that has placed a number of linebackers at the next level in recent years, including Jeff Luc (Cincinnati) and Deon Rogers (Louisville).

N.C. State was one of Bowens’ first offers from a BCS program, though he had numerous offers from second tier FBS programs as well as Rutgers and South Florida.

Linebacker is a position of need for the Pack. There are just seven scholarship linebackers listed on the current roster and three of those gentlemen are rising seniors (though a couple more will join the program from the class of 2013 in the fall).

Bowens joins recent quarterback commitment Jalan McClendon, TE/LS Garrett Bradbury, WR Bo Hines, LB Coult Culler, and TE/OT Micah Till as verbal pledges from the class of 2014.
