Chase Sowell News, Rumors, Updates - East Carolina Pirates

Leaves Thursday's game Sowell (hamstring) left Thursday's game versus Tulsa and will not return, per the ESPN broadcast.

Impact Sowell suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter of Thursday's game and limped off the field. He has since been ruled out for the game. He finished the contest with three catches for 75 yards. He will hope to return next Saturday at North Texas.

Catches 50-yard touchdown Sowell caught 1 of 2 targets for 50 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 49-14 win versus Florida Atlantic.

Impact Sowell started off Thursday's game perfectly as on the second play of the game he scored a 50-yard receiving touchdown, his third straight game with a score. However, he was only targeted once throughout the rest of the game, so his overall performance ended up being mildly disappointing. The game script caused Katin Houser to not throw the ball much, so Sowell's season-lows in targets and receptions should not cause too much concern.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Another productive outing Sowell reeled in 4 of 7 targets for 117 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 56-34 win versus Temple.

Impact Sowell was highly productive with Katin Houser again Saturday as he went for over 100 yards and caught a touchdown in his second straight game. He scored a 45-yard touchdown with eight seconds left in the first half, his second score of the season. He has 11 catches (on 17 targets) for 255 yards and two touchdowns in Houser's two starts. If Houser continues to start, which seems likely, Sowell will clearly benefit.

Excellent in Saturday's loss Sowell compiled seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 138 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-28 defeat versus Army.

Impact Sowell broke out Saturday with Katin Houser making his first start of the season. Sowell recorded season highs across the board, recording his first 100-yard game and scoring his first touchdown of the season, a 53-yard reception in the third quarter. If Houser continues to start for the Pirates, Sowell's value looks like it will go up significantly.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 82 yards Saturday Sowell reeled in 4 of 8 targets for 82 yards during Saturday's 55-24 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Sowell recorded a season-high 82 yards Saturday, and he did that in spite of having two different quarterbacks throwing him the ball. He received eight targets for the third time this season and caught four passes for the fourth straight game. While his yardage has been solid, especially during the last three weeks, his lack of touchdowns is hurting his upside significantly.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Fairly productive versus Liberty Sowell totaled five receptions (on eight targets) for 72 yards during Saturday's 35-24 loss to Liberty.

Impact Sowell set season highs across the board Saturday with five catches for 72 yards. While he was kept out of the endzone for the third straight week, he has clearly established himself as Jake Garcia's favorite target. While Garcia has struggled so far this season, he throws the ball enough -- especially when the Pirates are losing -- to allow Sowell to produce.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in season debut Sowell caught three of six targets for 47 yards during Saturday's 20-14 win over Old Dominion.

Impact After missing Week 1 due to an undisclosed injury, Sowell had a solid debut with 47 yards on six targets, the third most on the team. It was an unsurprisingly quiet debut as Sowell will likely need time to get used to his new quarterback Jake Garcia. With Anthony Smith and Winston Wright joining the team in the offseason, this is also a more talented receiving room than last season which could make a dent in Sowell's production.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for season debut Sowell (undisclosed) will play Saturday against Old Dominion, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Sowell was believed to be nearing a return to action, and it appears he'll miss just the opening contest before making his season debut for the Pirates. Sowell collected 47 passes for 622 yards and a touchdown last season but will look to reach pay dirt more frequently in 2024.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return Sowell (undisclosed) is nearing a return to the football field and is questionable for Saturday's game against Old Dominion, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Sowell has been recovering from an undisclosed injury suffered during the preseason and has been able to get back on the practice field during the past few weeks. Head coach Mike Houston indicated the sophomore wide receiver has looked "sharp" during practice but had not determined is availability. The 6-foot-4 pass-catcher was the leading receiver for the Pirates during the 2023 season and will surely be an important addition to the lineup.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out opener Sowell will not play in Saturday's season opener against Norfolk State due to injury, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.

Impact Sowell's absence comes as a bit of a surprise, as there was no indication of him being injured leading up to the contest. It's a big hit for the Pirates, who will be without the leading receiver from a season ago, but the team should be able to take care of business against an FCS opponent without him. Sowell's next opportunity to suit up surfaces in Week 2 against Old Dominion.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined to open spring practice Sowell (undisclosed) did not appear in ECU's opening spring practice, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Sowell was spotted with his gear on but did not see the field as the Pirates opened up their 2024 spring practice schedule. The 6-foot-2 redshirt freshman, who tallied 47 catches for 622 yards and one touchdown in 2023, will look to get back on the field soon.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Solid end to the season Sowell tallied five receptions (on eight targets) for 108 yards during Saturday's 29-27 loss versus Tulsa.

Impact Sowell ended his freshman campaign with another 100-yard outing in Saturday's loss. He finished the campaign as the Pirates' top receiver in terms of receptions and yards, a very promising sign for his career moving forward. He finished the campaign for 47 catches on 79 targets for 622 yards and a touchdown in 12 games. If he can find more consistent quarterback play next season, he could be even more successful.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lone bright spot in loss Sowell gathered in six of nine targets for 62 yards during Saturday's 10-0 loss versus Navy.

Impact Sowell was by far the Pirates' most productive offensive player Saturday as he led the team in receptions, targets and yards from scrimmage. The true freshman has quietly turned into the team's No. 1 receiver, gathering at least eight targets in five of the last seven games. He will look to keep that momentum going Saturday versus Tulsa in the season finale.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in win over FAU Sowell hauled in five of eight targets for 72 yards during Saturday's 22-7 victory versus Florida Atlantic.

Impact Sowell had another productive day Saturday as he accounted for nearly half of Alex Flinn's passing yards in the win. He led the team in receptions, targets and yards Saturday and now leads the team in receiving yards as a true freshman.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores late in loss Sowell posted four receptions (on nine targets) for 54 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-27 defeat against Texas-San Antonio.

Impact Sowell scored his first touchdown of the season Saturday, a four-yard reception with 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter. While the touchdown did not mean anything to the game, it is good for him to finally find the endzone for the first time in his collegiate career. The true-freshman has seen at least five targets in each of his last six games, and with the hectic quarterback situation seemingly resolved, he could be in for a fairly productive final four games.

Does not travel to Arizona Sowell (undisclosed) didn't make the trip to face Arizona, according to Brian Howell of the Boulder Daily Camera.

Impact Sowell was among several players that didn't make the trip to Arizona, though the freshman has yet to make a catch since he ended up with two receptions for 23 yards in Week 1 against TCU. His next chance to play will come Oct. 15 at home against California.
