“As I reflect on yesterday’s whirlwind I recognize that I made mistakes that I regret and will learn from,” he said in a tweet.
Bowen, a 5-star defensive back from Denton, Texas, said that he quickly realized he had made the wrong choice and that he would instead sign with Oklahoma. He said that Oklahoma felt like home and that his ties to the community as well as the coaching staff played a big factor in his decision.
The Sooners have announced Bowen as a signee.
