After a collegiate journey that spanned several programs, he emerged as a touchdown machine for Kentucky in the SEC. Known for his "angry" running style and explosive acceleration, McGowan is a tireless competitor who punishes defenders. His combination of track-verified speed and short-area quickness makes him a constant big-play threat when he finds a seam.

Colts' Seth McGowan: Taken by Indianapolis
The Colts selected McGowan in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 237th overall.
McGowan had a tumultuous college career, which saw him dismissed from Oklahoma's program after being arrested in April of 2021. He didn't see the field again until 2024 with New Mexico State and ended his college career with Kentucky in 2025, when he turned 165 carries into 725 yards and 12 touchdowns along with 19 catches for 126 yards over 11 games. McGowan has good size with a 6-foot, 223-pound frame, and he has the flexibility and strength to move around defenders, though he's not as explosive as other backfield prospects. There will be questions around his character heading into his NFL rookie season, but he'll have the opportunity to prove himself in Indianapolis, where he'll compete against DJ Giddens and Ulysses Bentley for rotational snaps behind lead back Jonathan Taylor.
