Accompanied by great football players

Owens is accompanied by players like Zachary Blair or Chad Walrond on defense, while the Centurions face hard competition in the Western Conference.

Head football coach Khalil Cartner sees Owens as the perfect addition for his defense. "He just does things the right way. From the moment we began talking about the 2023 season, his humble, confident demeanor made it impossible not to consider him as a viable number one option," Carter said, "He can take away a receiver and is an efficient and capable tackler. We got better as a defense today. He reminds me so much of myself when I got started in pro football. I’m excited to put tools into his tool belt and watch him work."
