Dowell, who grew up in Lebanon and played at Wilson Central High and then Tennessee-Martin, caught 67 passes for 1,036 yards and six touchdowns in his final season at Tennessee-Martin. Dowell had six 100-yard games in 2022, including a seven-catch, 112-yard performance against Tennessee in October.
Dowell (6-3, 212) was a two-time All-OVC first team performer at UTM. He holds the school’s all-time receiving yards mark at the school with 2,796 yards and 19 touchdowns.
