Few things surrounding Oregon football feel as inevitable as Justin Flowe becoming a star and potential All-American linebacker.

After suffering an injury as a true freshman that caused him to miss the entire season, the former five-star began the 2021 season as the starter and was looking like an immediate star next to Noah Sewell in the linebacking corps. But then he suffered an injury in the Fresno State win to start the season that forced him to miss the remainder of the year.

In his one game against Fresno State this past season, Flowe finished with a game-high 14 tackles, a tackle for loss, and a forced fumble. He looked like a breakout star, so you can imagine how upset fans were when they found out he would miss the rest of the season.

If he totaled 14 tackles in his first full game as a starting Duck linebacker, just imagine the kind of numbers he’ll put up with a full season under his belt.

Flowe looks like a tackling machine and if he stays healthy in 2022, he’ll be an All-American.
