Early years

A native of Miami, Flowers originally attended Krop High School in the Ives Estates, where he was a basketball standout and did not focus on football until his junior year.[1] For his senior year, he transferred to Norland High School in Miami Gardens,[2] where he joined a talented varsity that featured blue chip running back Duke Johnson. Flowers helped the Vikings to a 15–0 season record and a FHSAA Class 5A championship over Crawfordville Wakulla.[3]

Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Flowers was ranked as the 20th-best offensive tackle in his class.[4] ESPN labelled him a three-star recruit and ranked him 57th in his position.[5] He chose Miami (FL) over offers from Purdue, Florida State, and Central Florida.

As a true freshman at the University of Miami in 2012, Flowers played in all 12 games at right tackle, making four starts.[6][7] As a sophomore in 2013, he started all 12 games at left tackle.[8] He returned as the starting left tackle in 2014.

On December 29, 2014, Flowers announced that he would forgo his senior season and enter the 2015 NFL Draft.[9]
