Could UCLA basketball land the son of an All-Pro NFL linebacker?
The UCLA Bruins have remained in contact with guard Navarro Bowman Jr., son of NFL linebacker Navarro Bowman.
If you followed the NFL during the 2010s, then you know how much of a force linebacker NaVorro Bowman was on the football field. Now, a different NaVorro Bowman might be headed to join the UCLA Bruins , but not on the football field. NaVorro Bowman Jr.
had UCLA as one of the finalists to land his commitment, with the son of the 4x All-Pro being a four-star basketball recruit. Bowman attends Notre Dame in Sherman Oaks, giving UCLA some home field advantage to land the 6’3” guard. His father, NaVorro Bowman, spent the past two seasons as the linebackers coach for the Los Angeles Chargers, but stepped down this past offseason to accompany his son on his recruiting journey.
247 Sports has Bowman Jr. as the top player from California and as the No. 22 player in the 2027 class.
Bowman Jr. spoke with On3 Sports about his recruiting process , with Texas, Illinois, Arizona and Stanford all also being in the mix to land Bowman. Mick Cronin and the Bruins offered Bowman in June of last year, with the USC Trojans offering him a smidge later in August.
