So let's take a look at the late addition - Jonathan Flowe

I hadn't taken time to look at Jonathan Flowe, who was a late addition to Oregon's 2021 recruiting class. A few observations:

Jonathan Flowe - Upland High School - Upland, California

Upland HS is a big school with over 3,100 students (9-12). This is a tough league that they play in.

6'1 - 200 Pounds

Measurables at The Opening 2/10/19 (He was 15? years old at the time)

6'-0.5 and 195 Pounds

4.82 40-Clock

4.41 S.S.

24.30" Vert

Sophomore Year Tape - Jonathan Flowe highlights - Hudl

• 1) He can bend and sink to change direction laterally.
• 2) He does a nice job of getting off the blocks. He scrapes & sheds while keeping his head on a swivel.
• 3) In a controlled rush, he can lock on to an opposing LT and manipulate him at the Arc to help him (Flowe) set the Edge       forcing the QB back into containment.
• 4) He's a "Wrecking Ball" He tackles like a LBer. His head is up and he wraps up. Not a lot of arm tackles.
• 5) Lots of explosion "Blow Up" hits.
• 6) Relentless. Never gives up on a play even when he is double-teamed by O-Linemen. He circles back and makes the tackle from behind after the linemen thought they had done their job. Pretty impressive.
• 7) He understands leverage and getting his hands under an O-Lineman's pads to stand him up, and rock him back into the backfield on the bull rush.

This kid is a really fine prospect.

All the time you take to study and pass along your analysis is so appreciated.  So like a great run-defender and pull him out on 3rd and long...

Thanks Chico! Can´t wait to watch him and his brother play together!

From his starting point, and with his instincts and work ethic, Flowe should become another underpinning for a spectacular future defense. 

Clemson returns all 11 starters on defense for 2021, plus their top 14 defensive players.
