What to Expect from McDowell in Year 1 at Prairie View
"My first year as head coach, and I definitely don't take it lightly. I think it's a great opportunity for me to continue to hone in on these young men's athletic ability," McDowell shared with the media.
Optimism at Prairie View
Dr. Reed is optimistic about his football program and has a message for the alumni and fans by saying, "Alumni and fans and contributors support our program. Support the young people representing us in competition, and support the staff and administration that serve you and elevate the profile, tradition, and history of the university that we all support and love."
Key Players to Watch
McDowell announced, "Trazon Connley, he's going to be our starter right now. Trazon is 7-1 as a starter, and we believe that he can it done. Chris Scott, right now, is the backup [quarterback]."
Another player McDowell pointed out was defensive end Jesse Evans and how his work ethic reminded him of his former teammate and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. "Jesse is that same guy. Always in the weight room, does it in the classroom. Every time I see him, he's in the weight room and on the field getting things done to enhance his athletic ability."
Head coach Bubba McDowell will usher in a new era of Panthers football on the hill at Prairie View A&M.
