McDowell stands alongside Gutches as one of five Raider men's wrestlers with multiple individual NAIA titles. Competing throughout his career at 150 pounds, he placed eighth in 1991 and fourth in '92 before going out as a back-to-back champion. As a senior in 1994, he led the Raiders to a national team title as the team's only individual champ in coach Bob Riehm's final season. McDowell was also a three-time NAIA District 2 champion and a four-time finalist in the tournament. He served as captain and was named the team's Most Inspirational Wrestler on three occasions.
