Who is Jayda Coleman's fiancé, Billy Bowman Jr.? Looking at Oklahoma softball player's relationship

Jayda Coleman, a senior outfielder, is leading the charge for the Oklahoma Sooners' softball team. Coleman is a driving force behind the Sooners' impressive run in the Women's College World Series. Oklahoma is one of the eight teams left in the NCAA tournament and is also No. 2 in the tournament.

Coleman is engaged to Billy Bowman Jr., a star defensive back for the Oklahoma Sooners football team. The couple announced their engagement news on Instagram on New Year's Day in 2024:

"The Bowman’s.”

The couple met at the University of Oklahoma, and while Coleman is focusing on securing a championship title, Bowman is gearing up for his senior season this fall. This World Series run is particularly significant for Coleman, as it marks the final chapter in her collegiate softball career.

Bowman dominated last season, securing a spot on the All-Big 12 First Team. But his achievements speak for themselves, as he led the nation with six interceptions, a feat he amplified by turning three into touchdowns. He also rewrote Oklahoma's record for interception return yards, racking up 238 yards.
