Alan Bowman, the star quarterback of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, is not only making headlines for his football prowess but also for his personal life, as he prepares to tie the knot with his longtime love, Jessica McCardel. The couple, both in their early 30s, have been together for several years and recently took their relationship to the next level by announcing their engagement. On July 10, 2023, they shared the exciting news on Instagram, with Jessica humorously captioning the post, “WE ARE ENGAGED!! Three states, two houses, and years of adventures with the love of my life. LET’S GET MARRIED!🤍.”

For Bowman’s fans, this engagement marks a significant chapter in his life off the field. Despite a football journey that has seen him transfer from Texas Tech to Michigan and now to Oklahoma State, Bowman has managed to keep a steady balance between his personal and professional life. Through the ups and downs of his football career and life transitions, Jessica has been by his side, supporting him every step of the way. Now, the two are ready to make things official and start a new adventure as husband and wife.

As Bowman continues to shine on the field, this upcoming wedding adds another reason for fans to cheer him on—not just as a football star, but as a man entering a new and exciting chapter in his life.

The engagement and their love story

It was in July 2023 when the couple got engaged, which in turn became one of the most memorable events of their lives. Although they haven’t revealed the exact details of the proposal, the body language and the posts shared show that both have been through a lot. Between their football schedule and balancing their professional duties, the pair has nurtured a strong and loving relationship. From living in different states to handling the ups and downs of long-distance, their love has only grown stronger over time.

Jessica is a Texas Tech alumni; she first appeared on Bowman’s post on social Media somewhere in December 2020. Each time he posts a picture of the two on Instagram, it was not long before she took a place on it too and the two since went on with their moments together. In the past, they have been engaged in traveling, changing residences, and providing each other with moral support during career achievements and promotions.
