Fowler's Early Years
Fowler, the younger of the two sons of Douglas Fowler and his wife, Abbie Marston Fowler (1906–1976), was born in Shreveport, reared in Coushatta, and graduated in 1958 from Coushatta High School. Thereafter, he played football for nearby Northwestern State University (then Northwestern State College) in Natchitoches and obtained a degree in education. He was drafted to the Oakland Raiders and then ultimately the Houston Oilers (1960–1966), for whom he was an offensive tackle. He played in four games in the 1964 season. Another north Louisiana player, Charlie T. Hennigan (born 1935) of Minden, the seat of Webster Parish, also played for the Oilers at the time in a 7-year career from 1960-1966.
