Jude Bowry is an offensive tackle and 2026 NFL Draft prospect who played his entire collegiate career with the Boston College Eagles. A native of Germantown, Maryland, Bowry attended Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore, which was ranked No. 1 in the Maryland MaxPreps Top 25 for five consecutive years, and was rated a three-star recruit and the top offensive tackle in Maryland by Rivals before committing to Boston College in the 2022 class. He appeared in seven games as a true freshman in 2022, made two spot starts at right tackle, then maintained his redshirt in 2023 while seeing limited action including 71 emergency snaps at left tackle against Florida State. He broke out as a full-time starter in 2024, starting all 12 regular season games at left tackle and earning a 75.7 PFF pass blocking grade while allowing only two sacks across 321 dropback snaps, helping the Eagles produce four games of 200-plus rushing yards. Named team captain ahead of the 2025 season, he started nine games at left tackle, did not allow a sack, and was recognized as a 2025 semifinalist for the Jason Witten Man of the Year Award before earning an invitation to the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl.
Standing 6-foot-5 and 311 pounds, Bowry is known for twitchy explosive athleticism out of his stance, exceptional grip strength that allows him to latch onto and control defenders, and the lateral agility to handle speed rushers on the edge. His combination of 23 career starts at left tackle, zero sacks allowed in his final season, and a team captain designation reflect the progression of a prospect whose movement skills and pass protection ability project well to the NFL level, where evaluators see him as a developmental offensive tackle with starting upside in a zone-blocking scheme at the next level.
