Early years
Strowbridge grew up in Deerfield Beach, Florida and attended Deerfield Beach High School.

Professional career
Strowbridge was selected in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins.[8] The Dolphins received the 154th pick used to select Strowbridge as a result from a trade that sent Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Strowbridge made his NFL debut on November 8, 2020, against the Arizona Cardinals, playing 12 snaps on defense with one tackle in 34–31 win.[9]
On August 31, 2021, Strowbridge was waived by the Dolphins and re-signed to the practice squad the next day.[10] He was released from the practice squad on September 6, 2021.[11]
