In 3 years at West Virginia, Cowan recorded 38 tackles (6.5 for a loss) and 4 sacks. He was a 4-star linebacker in the 2017 recruiting class out of Florida.
Mike Locksley, Maryland’s current head coach, was a member of Alabama’s offensive coaching staff back in 2017, so he is familiar with Cowan from their time together in Tuscaloosa.
