Evaluation

Cowart has to be one of the best looking prospects off the hoof that you will find anywhere in any class in high school football. He has great size, build and length. Cowart looks like a guy that has already spent a season or two in college. As a player he’s still developing and finding his way. He shows flashes and will disappear. When he’s on Cowart is a nasty defensive line prospect that can play the run and get after the passer. Jamie Newberg
