He played college football at Maryland and Auburn and was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL draft. Entering college, he was regarded as the #1 overall recruit by ESPN and Rivals.




College career


Cowart was the #1 high school recruit and committed to Auburn in 2015. However he struggled to get playing time in his first two seasons. After appearing in the team's first two games, Cowart left Auburn early in the 2017 season and attended Hillsborough Community College (HCC) near his Florida home. In December he announced he was transferring to Maryland for the 2018 season.
