Young QB target draws national attention for ability to sling it — with either arm

Just a sophomore, Bellevue East (Neb.) QB Mikey GowMikey
Gow

QB | 6'1 | 170
Bellevue East | 2025
is getting a taste of what it’s like to have the spotlight of a star athlete after a TikTok video went viral this week of him throwing with both arms.

The talented QB has earned a lot of early recruiting buzz with a bevy of unofficial visits to Power5 programs and has impressed at a wide range of Showcase events in recent years, including the Six Star Football QBID Showcase last spring.

Gow is one of just 20 QBs from across the country who will be competing on May29 at The Finals All-America Showcase at Liberty North HS.

The long and lanky 6’2, 180-pounder has good size and a long, rangy frame and impresses with his fluidity agility and smooth range of motion allows him to make a wide range of throws with accuracy and velocity.

And amazingly, with either arm.

The video put together by QB Plug shows him making a wide range of throws with ease. He throws on the run, sidearm, with the right arm, then the left while in motion, and with surprising accuracy and velocity. The original version video has been liked more than 40k times on Instagram and more than 138k times on TikTok, but that is only the beginning as it has since been picked up by ne every major media source imaginable.

“Blowing up like I have, this has been crazy” Gow said. “It’s put me and my dad through a roller coaster of emotions.  It happened so fast and now i’m being classified (as) famous, i don’t feel that but i guess you could say it’s a pro athlete feeling”

Gow said the inspiration came from Chase Murman, a former collegiate QB who now trains QBs and has built a national following on his QBPlug brand.

“He’s (Chase) a media and a video genius,” Gow said. “He knows how to make things pop and what to do  Once me and my dad told him I could throw with both arms, he told us right after that this will get millions of views it pops.

“Once me and my dad told him I could throw with both arms, he told us right after that this will get millions of views.”

While he hasn;t uncorked a left handed throw in a game yet, Gow says he has always has the ability to throw with either arm — which began on the baseball field. Gow split his growth plates while pitching in a baseball game and the doctor told him he would be out for 9 months, which turned to 11). He still went to practice instead of sitting around bored his mom encouraged him to try throwing with both arms.

“From right there I started training for it and doing everything i could to just have my coach give me a chance,” he says. “And i’ve carried that mindset over football. It’s not perfect yet but I know if i grind everyday it’ll get there.”

Gow has drawn interest in numerous schools including lNotre dame, Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern and Pittsburgh to name a few.  

“Hopefully i can get to most of these schools that have shown interest in me so i can learn more about their program and show interest in them,” he says.

A fan of in-state Nebraska, Gow says he grew up a fan and dreamed of playing in front of some of the best fans in the nation. Nebraska recently invited Gow to their Friday Night lights camp this summer and also took a Junior Day this past fall.

“One thing with Nebraska is they openly expressed they don’t care about my switch throwing and they don’t want me doing it,” Gow saiid. “Which is fine, just something i may have to take into consideration in the future.”
