Isaiah Bowser is a Featured Back for UCF. Isaiah's 2021 season ranks in the 0th percentile nationally by opponent-adjusted EPA per play across 156 plays — a developing rate for the RB.
The centerpiece of the run game — high carry volume, used in early downs and goal-line, true workhorse role.
Meaningful starter. Local collective + position-group deals.
Tier is a model estimate based on position, school brand, performance rank, and usage — not a reported deal. NIL deals are private. For a real market valuation, see On3's NIL profile, which factors in social following and actual deal tracking.
