Detroit (Mich.) St. Martin DePorres running back Anthony Bowman made his first college visit of the winter, a trip to South Bend, Ind., for Notre Dame's junior day.

"That's the first one I've been to," Bowman said. "I liked it. It was pretty cool."

Asked what he liked in particular, Bowman said, "Well, 99% of their football players graduate. And I liked the atmosphere. It's pretty quiet and laid back. Coach Weis addressed all the people there."

Bowman has been invited to other junior days.

"I couldn't make it to Northwestern because I had a track meet. I'm not sure about any others right now. I'm pretty open to anyone.

"I get mail from Northwestern, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Michigan, I get a lot of mail.

"I'm going to Michigan, Michigan State, and Notre Dame for camps for sure this summer."

The 5-foot-10 and 170 Bowman played running back and wide receiver during his junior season. He had 927 rushing yards and 422 receiving yards. Bowman scored nine times.
