Adding durability and versatility to the 2024 class, the Hilltoppers landed a commitment from 2024 athlete Cam Flowers, reigning from Warner Robins High School, who plays in an Ironman sort of role having taken snaps at wide receiver, cornerback, and running back.
STRENGTHS:
• Versatility: This is the first thing that my mind ran to when seeing his play on both sides of the ball. As a receiver, he's a trusted playmaker and as a defender, he's balanced with exceptional ball awareness.
• Deep Threat: I'll say this now - Flowers is a better receiver than he is defender. Can make catches in traffic and accelerate quickly after the catch.
• Field Vision: Has the potential to be an excellent YAC (yards after catch) kind of receiver. Balance is a big proponent of his game and is able to create space.
• Returner Abilities: Another example of his field vision. Flowers can stretch the field and put defenders on skates.
• Stride and Speed: When Flowers breaks free, he has some speed in his long stride. He'll force defenders into a real game of cat-and-mouse.
• Soft Hands and Catch Radius: Catching appears to be second nature and ball security looks to be a strong suit in his game. Can get up and force his will on tough balls.
• Can I Make A Justyn Ross Comparison?: Watching Flowers tape kept bringing Ross to mind. Similar demeanors in their breaks off routes and play in the intermediate game, as well as the field vision and yards-after-catch abilities.
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT:
• Deep Ball Separation: Flowers will grow in this facet of the game. For now, he plays in an offense led by a quarterback with limited arm strength, and Flowers is the primary threat that every defensive coordinator is game planning for.
• Separation burst in the short game could stand to improve.
• Should primarily take snaps at receiver, though his experience as a defensive back could be a plus.
Overall, Flowers is a huge addition to the Toppers 2024 recruiting class. He'll be joining an offense that has been producing highly-touted pass catchers in the Helton-era, and now Flowers has a chance to continue that legacy.
