QB announces transfer from UCA

University of Central Arkansas quarterback Darius Bowers is entering the transfer portal, he announced via Twitter on Sunday.

Bowers, a redshirt freshman in 2021, played in six games at UCA, and was a combined 10-of-20 passing for 133 yards, a touchdown and an interception. A Fayetteville High graduate, Bowers was a three-star recruit when he committed to the Bears and was an All-State selection in 2017 and 2018.

Bowers’ departure marks the second quarterback transfer for the Bears since the end of the 2021 season, making Cabot native Tyler Gee the lone signal-caller on UCA’s roster.
