Maverick Bowie (born July 7, 2015) is an American football safety for the Dallas Birddogs of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).

Early years

Born in the small college town of Lynchburg Virginia to Edward and Destiny Bowie. Maverick grew up in the mountains spending most of his time working with horses on his family's horse farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Football was a major part of Maverick's life growing up and his family regularly attended games at the local university, Liberty.

Maverick was a bit of a late bloomer athletically but his time working with horses on the farm equipped him with a general toughness that allowed him to excel on the football field. He attended Lynchburg Christian Academy thoughout his early education and in high school he immediately made the varsity football team for the Bulldogs. Maverick quickly emerged as one of the most promising defensive talents in the state of Virginia, eventually leading the Bulldogs to an undefeated season and the Divison 3A State Championship his senior season. That season Maverick broke the VA state record for interceptions with 24, earning him a place in the ESPN Top 100 in 2033 as a 4-star prospect.

College career

After high school, Bowie decided to stay local and accepted a scholarship to play football at Liberty University. In his freshman season he made an instant impact by earning Freshman First-Team All-American honors while racking up 77 tackles and 3 interceptions, and leading the Flames to a 11-2 record and a 27-10 victory in the Belk Bowl over state rival Virginia Tech. Maverick's sophomore season was hampered by a nagging knee injury that unfortunately caused him to miss 8 games. Despite this earlly set-back, Maverick was still able to rack up 34 tackles and 2 interceptions on the season, recording 12 tackles and returning an interception for a touchdown in the Celebration Bowl where the Flames defeated New Mexico State 28-24, ending their season with a 7-5 record.

Bowie's junior year was a return to form as he once again achieved First-Team All-American honors posting an impressive 80 tackles and 5 interceptions on the season which helped the Flames achieve a program best 12-1 record and a 17-10 win over Aubrun in the Outback Bowl. Maverick saved the best for last in college though as his senior year was by far his most successful. In his final season at Liberty, he led the Flames to their first ever undefeated season with a 13-0 record. The Flames finished the season ranked 7th in the nation. That season Bowie once again earned First-Team All-American honors with a career-high 85 tackles and a Liberty University record 7 interceptions. The Flames also earned an at-large bid to the Rose Bowl that year where they defeated USC 27-13.
