A former Maryland offensive lineman from 2007-09, Bowen has been Virginia Tech’s offensive coordinator since 2022, also coaching the Hokies’ tight ends that year and the Hokies’ quarterbacks for the past two years. He was previously the Jacksonville Jaguars’ tight ends coach for one year, working for Urban Meyer during his lone season as the Jaguars’ head coach, after three years as an assistant coach at Penn State, where he also coached the tight ends and was the Nittany Lions’ co-offensive coordinator for one year in 2020.
Bowen also served as the recruiting coordinator at Penn State, where he was the primary recruiter for several players who went on to be stars for the Nittany Lions including All-American left tackle Olu Fashanu and All-American tight end Tyler Warren.
Bowen, 35, was previously the offensive line coach at Maryland for one year (2017) and at Fordham for two years (2015-16).
His hiring adds offensive coordinator experience to Ohio State’s offensive coaching staff as the Buckeyes remain in the market for a new offensive coordinator to replace Chip Kelly. Current wide receivers coach Brian Hartline is the rumored frontrunner for that position, which could mean promoting offensive analyst Billy Fessler to fill the quarterbacks coach role that Kelly also held last season.
Ohio State also remains in the market for a new defensive coordinator following Jim Knowles’ departure for Penn State.
