Andrean coach Chris Skinner says Drayk Bowen is the complete package. “I think he possesses a rare combination of skills and talents,” Skinner told Irish Sports Daily. “Athletically, he's very gifted; very good two-sport athlete, really good baseball player as well. He's got a good range of flexibility. He's got good burst, strong. It's not just being athletic. It's been also building on top of that athleticism. You wouldn't necessarily see this watching the film, but he's very disciplined. He's a straight A-student, he's got above a 4.0 GPA and takes all honors and AP classes. He's very committed to diet and into working out to continue to improve his body. It all comes together into a pretty impressive package.” Bowen enjoys hanging out with his friends and playing video games when he’s not playing football. He plans on majoring on business in college. His parents are Rebecca McCollam and Jeremy Bowen. His siblings are Dylan and Dallas.
