Bio: One of the most physical specimen in his class, Byron Cowart has made a habit of greeting offenses in the backfield. Using his bulky, muscular frame, Cowart often blew by or powered through his blocker. His physicality will give him a chance to contribute to college programs right away. He sheds blocks against the run, and has a steady mix of moves to pass rush. During his junior year with Armwood, he registered 72 tackles and 13 sacks. Rivals lists Cowart as the best player in the 2015 recruiting class. Some of his college offers include Oregon -- which is said to have an edge in landing Cowart -- Alabama, and Florida.
