The 2017 Leslie O’Neal Award winner was voted as a team captain by his teammates. He went on to be a First-Team All Conference selection as selected by the coaches and a Second-Team selection by the media. He was also a Second-Team All American selection last season.
At 6-4/202 Flowers has range to cover deep and is a bit of a hawk on the ball, especially when it floats a bit. He may struggle initially in covering the receivers out of the slot, as well as tight ends.
He’s a powerful and violent hitter who plays with no fear. Those two attributes make him the perfect candidate for a special teams player. As a fifth round draft selection that may be where his biggest impact on the game could be during his first couple of seasons.
