- Indianapolis selected McGowan in the seventh round at No. 237, with the move Saturday making him the second Kentucky player the Colts took after guard Jalen Farmer went in the fourth round.
- At Kentucky in 2025, he ran for 725 yards and 12 touchdowns and led the Wildcats in carries during an 11-game season.
- He transferred from New Mexico State, where in 2024 he logged 823 rushing yards with six total touchdowns and earned Second Team All-Conference USA honors.
- His path wound through Oklahoma in 2020, then Texas College and Butler Community College, before returning to FBS play at New Mexico State and finishing at Kentucky.
- As a seventh-rounder, he now must sign a rookie deal and compete through the Colts' offseason program to earn a roster spot.
