Yes, every returning starter for Tennessee football at defensive back hails from Georgia and specifically the Atlanta area. Trevon Flowers is actually from Atlanta, although he went to Tucker High School, still in DeKalb County, Ga., but just outside of the city. Being a two-sport athlete prepared him for the role he has now.

Flowers was an athlete on the football team and a center fielder on the baseball team. Playing baseball and not going to camps hurt his recruiting rankings, and he was only a three-star across the board, but to his credit, Jeremy Pruitt saw the talent in the guy.

While playing baseball hurt his ratings, it prepared him for playing free safety at the college level, as he is an elite center fielder. Ever since sophomore year, when fully healthy, Flowers has been starting at safety, and he’s been a playmaker in the process.

Last year, Flowers had a PFF regular season grade of 63, which was solid given how the team was made up, and he had three pass deflections, two interceptions, one and a half tackles for a loss, a sack and 82 tackles, 48 of which were solo. He’s back for a fifth year, taking advantage of the COVID eligibility ruling, and with McCollough, has the safety spot locked down.
