Jacob Cowing NFL Draft 2024: Scouting Report for Arizona WR
Ronald Cortes/Getty Images
— Good speed. Can separate from defenders with and without the ball.
— Very good acceleration. Snaps into his top speed in a hurry.
— Very good change of direction and explosiveness. Quick, agile mover in space.
— Above-average route-running tools. Quickness and flexibility serve him well.
— Small frame; terribly light and lacks length.
— Poor strength and ability to fight off DBs, both at the line and throughout routes.
— Struggles with concentration and technique as a pass-catcher. Has issues both in traffic and with random drops.
— Poor ability to break tackles. Lacks balance and power.
— 13 G, 90 REC, 848 YDS (9.4 AVG), 13 TD
— Transferred from UTEP to Arizona in 2022
— 2021 first-team All-C-USA
— 2023 All-Pac-12 honorable mention
Jacob Cowing was asked to be two different receiver archetypes over his college career, with both revolving around his speed.
Cowing was a vertical receiver for his first three seasons at UTEP. He’s twitchy off the line of scrimmage and attacks defensive backs quickly. Though he isn’t an elite burner, Cowing brings threatening speed that forces defenses to respect him down the field. One free step of separation can become a touchdown.
At Arizona, however, Cowing was asked to be more of an underneath yards-after-the-catch earner. His quick feet and effortless change of direction made it an easy transition. Aside from screens and simple shallow crossers, Cowing showed flashes of impressive route-running ability on speed outs, curls and slants. He really explodes and accelerates out of his breaks.
The catch with Cowing is that he’s limited to being sort of a gimmick receiver either way. Though Cowing’s speed and quickness are threatening, he lacks size, length and strength.
Cowing struggles with contact as a route-runner. He can be swallowed up at the line of scrimmage, and he loses a lot of his juice when trying to fight through contact during routes. The same is true when Cowing needs to earn 50-50 balls.
Cowing also battles concentration issues. He shows random flashes of being able to find the ball outside his frame, but he too often loses the ball in traffic. His catching technique fails him at times as well, showing too many moments of “clapping” the ball as it comes in.
Cowing’s speed and explosiveness make him a worthwhile Day 3 bet. Even at his size, it’s hard to find players with that kind of twitch. With that said, Cowing’s lack of size, strength and polish will be limiting, both early on and down the road. Cowing needs a spread-out passing offense that can give him space.
GRADE: 6.0 (High-Level Developmental Prospect — 5th Round)

PRESCOTT, AZ (AZFamily) — Beautiful Prescott, Arizona, is home to the “World’s Oldest Rodeo,” and on this Field Trip Friday, we’re getting a look at what to expect when it opens next week!
Scott Pasmore and Gibby Parra went to check out the Prescott Frontier Days event that attracts thousands every year. There’s a wild horse race, barrel racing and bull riding — and that’s just the beginning of what you can see!
Rodeo Royalty
No rodeo is complete without Rodeo Royalty, or experienced horsewomen who help keep the sport alive. Scott and Gibby introduce you to the rodeo queens of the “World’s Oldest Rodeo.”
Anna Butler was named the 2026 Prescott Frontier Days rodeo queen, Ava Brooks was named the 2027 rodeo queen, and Ellie Weeks was named the 2027 junior queen.
Granite Mountain Distillery
Granite Mountain Distillery opened in 2025 and welcomes customers on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The distillery has a limited edition whiskey bottle made specially for the “World’s Oldest Rodeo.”
Master Distiller Chris Currie said the quality barrels that the distillery uses allow for the whiskey to be of such high quality.
There were only 1,888 rodeo edition bottles made. Each bottle has its own unique number to authenticity.
Red White and Brew
No one is more excited about the rodeo returning to town than all the local businesses in Prescott.
Summer is one of their busiest times of the year. It’s when many Arizona families head north from the Valley to escape the heat or to attend one of the many summer events in the historic town.
Scott and Gibby stopped by Red White and Brew to see what they’re cooking up this time of year.
“Frontier Days in Prescott is huge,” said Jennifer Collinge, general manager at Red White and Brew in Prescott. “It draws people in from all over the state, all over the country, come and visit us. We have a giant Fourth of July parade that is, I think, one of the biggest in the state. It’s just a week-long of festivities and fun; you don’t have to be involved in rodeo to enjoy it.”
If you want to go the extra mile, 20% of all sales made at Red White and Brew on Tuesday, June 30, will be donated to the Eric Marsh Foundation for Wildland Firefighters.
Whiskey River Tavern
Scott and Gibby spoke with former Prescott Mayor Greg Mengarelli about the exciting times ahead for the city.
“It’s going to be a great celebration,” Mengarelli said. “We’re already very patriotic at the rodeo, but America 250 is just up another level. It’s going to be an awesome celebration, and I hope everybody comes up to see us at the rodeo and the parade.”
He said Frontier Days is sold out, as has been the case over the past several years, and 17 foreign countries will be represented.
