He then attended United States Military Academy Preparatory School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey.^[1]

College career

Bowden did not appear in any games during his freshman year (West Point cadets must graduate in four years, and therefore do not redshirt).^[1] In 2008, he backed up returning starter Carson Williams. Bowden saw an increased amount of snaps throughout the second half the season, and recorded a total of 31 completions on 72 attempts for 282 yards, including two touchdowns and three interceptions. A mobile quarterback, and with an Army return to the option offense, Bowden also rushed 194 times for 572 yards and one touchdown. Bowden was sacked eight times.^[2]
