Eli Bowen
Recruit Profile
Highly coachable multi-sport athlete, dedicated to success and leadership in the classroom and on the field.
I am from Chattanooga, TN, where I attend Baylor School on the Tennessee River. I do very well in school and maintain an A average. I am a member of a leadership group at Baylor called the Red Circle and was voted by my peers to serve on the Baylor Honor Council. This year I was chosen to be an Abshire Fellow and Harris-Stanford Scholar. I attend church with my family and enjoy spending time with my large extended family, as well as playing basketball with friends.
As for sports, I started playing football in the 3rd grade and lacrosse in the 4th grade, and I quickly found that lacrosse was the sport I loved. In order to get better I worked hard to play the best lacrosse that I could. I learned to play with both my right and left hands. I learned to dodge on long and short sticks from various places on the field. I learned to see the field and how my team could best score. I learned the value of studying film and plays (both mine and other teams) to increase my lacrosse IQ.
The work has helped me thus far. At 13, I played on a U15 club team. I played on the LB3 Thunder Elite club team in 2017. I started on the Baylor School Varsity team in 8th Grade scoring over 15 points. As a freshman, I again started at Attack and scored 45 points (G-22, A-23). Playing attack my sophomore year, I scored 63 points (G-32, A-31), and lead the state of Tennessee in assists. I also made 2nd Team All-State (Region), as the only sophomore to have that distinction.
Along with lacrosse, I also play varsity football. I started at strong safety in the fall of 2018. Football requires a lot time in the weight-room throughout the summer, and the fall is full of film, conditioning, weights and games. Needless to say I am pretty busy, between lacrosse, football, and school. I work hard and put forth my best effort in the things that I do, anticipating what the future holds.

I had the pleasure of coaching Eli at our ICE program and he is the exact player you want on your team: gritty, athletic, hard working and skilled. He gives 100% effort on every play, whether dodging or getting back on defense. Eli is the ultimate 2-way throwback midfielder!
