Antwan Lowery

Evaluation: Lowery is a versatile athlete that can line up on either offense or defense in college. Even though he plays defen sive tackle in high school, offensive guard or center may be his more natural position. As a defensive tackle, Lowery has to work on his technique if he is going to stay on that side of the football. He tries to just overpower his opponent which gets Lowery in trouble. He shows his athletic ability on some plays and just chases running backs down from behind. What he needs to work on at defensive tackle is staying low and using his hands better. He makes himsel f an easy target to block. He has good feet and Lowery moves pr etty well for someone his size.

Coach’s Comments: “We had his brother here two years ago and Antonio is now at Rutgers. Antwan has a chance to be very good but he is a bit raw. If he continues to work hard, Lowery should continue to get better,” Head Coach Chris Merritt.

College Level: 3- Right now Lowery is at best a lower-tier D1 prospect. That can all change with an impressive junior season. If he moves to offensive line look for some BCS schools to step it up and offer him. Antwan has the physical ability to play for many of the top conferences in college football.
