Tyus Bowser

Tyus Kevon Bowser, born on May 23, 1995, in Tyler, Texas, developed his athletic abilities early, playing football at John Tyler High School. During his senior year, he recorded 59 tackles and 24 sacks, achievements that led him to commit to the University of Houston for college football. At Houston, Bowser played for the Cougars from 2013 to 2016. He made his collegiate debut in 2013, registering two tackles. A significant moment in his freshman year was recording his first two collegiate sacks and an interception against Rice. Throughout his college career, Bowser accumulated 137 tackles and 22.5 sacks. He also briefly participated in the Houston Cougars basketball team for four games over two seasons.

Bowser’s professional journey began when he was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft as the 47th overall pick. He signed a four-year contract worth $5.57 million. In his rookie NFL season, he debuted against the Cincinnati Bengals and recorded an interception against the Cleveland Browns. His career with the Ravens spanned several seasons, marked by consistent defensive contributions. In the 2019 season, he scored a 33-yard fumble return touchdown against the Bengals and achieved a two-sack performance against the Houston Texans. His 2020 season included three interceptions and five passes defended. In 2021, Bowser re-signed with the Ravens for a four-year, $22 million deal, demonstrating his value to the team. That season, he recorded seven sacks, 59 total tackles, four passes defended, and two forced fumbles. A notable play was his game-clinching sack against the Chicago Bears in November 2021, and a game-sealing tackle against the Cleveland Browns a week later.

Following a torn Achilles in January 2022, Bowser was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list but returned to play in November 2022, contributing two sacks and 13 total tackles. He faced further injury setbacks in 2023, leading to him being placed on the reserve/non-football injury list and subsequently being released by the Ravens in March 2024. He later signed with the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad in August 2024 and then joined the Miami Dolphins in October 2024.
