Stowe was born and raised in Passaic, New Jersey and played scholastically at Passaic High School.[1] He played college football at Rutgers University,[2][3] where he was honored by Football News as a third-team All-American as a senior.[4]
Stowe signed with the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent, but was cut at the end of the preseason.[5] He then joined the Pittsburgh Steelers as a replacement player during the 1987 NFLPA strike.[5]
After the strike, the Steelers added him to their regular-season roster, and he remained with them for four years (1987-1990). He followed that with three seasons for the Phoenix Cardinals (1991-1993), and finished his career with stints in Washington (1994) and Seattle (1995-1996).[6] He spent the 1996 season on the injured reserve list.
As of 2007, Stowe was working as a pastor in Chandler, Arizona.[7]
