Imposing, gifted youngster Malik McDowell in no hurry to pick college
Sam Webb
Concordia College in Ann Arbor played host to the Adidas Invitational Football Showcase last Saturday, and featured a number of the region's top prospects. The annual combine/camp even managed to draw a heralded recruit all the way from California, but still it stayed true to its primary roots as a vehicle to greater exposure for youngsters from Metro Detroit. Among those homegrown talents generating a great deal of buzz during the event was Detroit Loyola sophomore defensive lineman Malik McDowell.
At 6-6, 270 pounds, McDowell stood out as one of the most physically imposing athletes in attendance. That happens to be a distinction he earns almost every time he steps onto a football field.
"He first came on my radar after last summer's Toledo camp when everybody said the best lineman there was a freshman," said Scout.com Midwest regional manager Allen Trieu. "I went and saw him in person last season and witnessed what everyone was talking about. Later I saw him at the Elite Big Man Camp in Wixom, and then the Adidas Invitational in Ann Arbor last weekend. He was great at both ? probably more so in Wixom because he got more reps. He went up against some older guys who are committed to BCS schools like Steve Elmer (Notre Dame) and Jesse Chadwell (Illinois), and did well against each of them. Other than one or two reps, he really wasn't stopped all day."
