Seth McGowan (6-1, 220) was a former blue-chip recruit who signed with Oklahoma in the 2020 high school recruiting cycle. McGowan’s lead recruited for the Sooners was current Kentucky running backs coach Jay Boulware. The Mesquite (Texas) Poteet product rushed for 370 yards as a true freshman in the Big 12 before being dismissed from the program before the 2021 season during an armed robbery investigation. McGowan would eventually plea guilty to larceny and was sentenced to a year of probation.
The tailback then had to sit out of college football for a couple of years before enrolling at NAIA Texas College in 2022 and Butler Community College in 2023. Seth McGowan would then land at New Mexico State where he rushed for 813 yards on 5.3 yards per rush and chipped in 23 receptions. McGowan officially entered the transfer portal on April 17 and some Kentucky buzz has been created almost instantly.
UK left spring practice with just four scholarship tailbacks on the roster.
