Bowen signed to play with Louisville, but was suspended before what would have been his freshman season because of an FBI investigation that raised serious questions about his NCAA eligibility, and never played for the school. He enrolled at South Carolina in January 2018, but never played for that school due to NCAA transfer rules. In a later phase of the FBI investigation, further eligibility questions arose, and he declared for the 2018 draft without ever playing in college.
