Junior career

Professional career

[edit]

Gowanlock was drafted in the eighth round, 66th overall, by the Montreal Alouettes in the 2020 CFL Draft.[3] However, he did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of both the 2020 CFL season and the 2020 U Sports football season. He signed with the team ahead of the 2021 season, but he was released before the season began on July 26, 2021, and he returned to school to complete his playing eligibility.[4]

Gowanlock re-signed with the Alouettes on January 21, 2022.[5] He played in ten games where he had two defensive tackles and five special teams tackles.[6] He also played in both playoff games that year where he had one special teams tackle.[6]

In 2023, he played in 10 regular season games and had two defensive tackles, five special teams tackles, and one fumble recovery.[7]
