Cincinnati Football: Jowon Briggs shows off potential at Big 12 Pro Day

Cincinnati Bearcats veteran defensive lineman Jowon Briggs showed his impressive potential at the inaugural Big 12 Pro Day this weekend!

Briggs had the most reps on the bench press of any prospect competing at Big 12 Pro Day or in the NFL Combine with 39 reps of 225 pounds.

The Cincinnati product improved his draft stock after recording a 5.0-second time in the 40-yard dash and a 26-inch leap in the vertical jump.

With an opportunity to continue his career at the highest level, Briggs is hoping to get selected in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft in late April!

"I think it’s a big opportunity for us to showcase our brand, how we do things and then obviously provide a platform for our student athletes."

During his memorable career with the Bearcats, Briggs developed into a key part of the defense with 130 tackles and eight sacks in three years.
