Another talented Kappa Sigma football player added himself to the roll of Brothers who have been drafted into the NFL. Brother Tay Gowan (Lambda-Epsilon, Central Florida, ’19) was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Gowan starred as a cornerback for the UCF Golden Knights in 2019 with 31 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 8 pass deflections. Some of his season highlights include a 6 tackle performance in a 41-28 victory against East Carolina, as well as an interception and 2 tackles in a heartbreaking 27-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Brother Gowan will become at least the 103rd Kappa Sigma Brother to reach the professional ranks, and at least the 13th with the Arizona Cardinals franchise, the oldest team in the NFL.
