When working out at Arkansas‘ camp, 2024 Mobile (Ala.) Baker four-star quarterback Josh Flowers remembers it “felt like 118” degrees. Yet it didn’t bother the 6-foot-3, 200 pound signal-caller. He wanted to stand out to the coaches in attendance.

Flowers had already received an offer from the Razorbacks, but his trip to Fayetteville helped elevate Arkansas to one of his top schools. He already hopes to return for the Alabama game on Oct. 1.

“I love their facility,” Flowers told On3. “Everything, their facility and their football field. I just want to get back up there and enjoy my time with them.”

The Razorbacks made an immediate impression on Flowers by taking him to their film center. There, they showed him slide shows of the plays he runs in high school, as well as the plays Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson runs. Flowers felt like the gesture showed “how much of a good fit I would be” within the Razorbacks’ system.

quote:
“We basically run the same plays,” Flowers said. “Like everything(‘s) the same. The same reads… just giving the ball to your playmakers. I actually like their offense cause we run the same thing, so I’m pretty used to it.”

Flowers, who has Arkansas as one of his top schools alongside Alabama, is the No. 184 overall prospect and No. 13 quarterback in the 2024 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 10 player in Alabama.

On3 rates him even higher. Per the 2024 On300, Flowers is the No. 54 overall prospect, No. 8 quarterback and No. 4 player in Alabama.

At the camp, Flowers had the opportunity to speak with head coach Sam Pittman. He also bonded with offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kendall Briles.

Flowers has talked with Briles over the phone since his visit to Arkansas. Their conversations about the Razorbacks’ scheme are “familiar” for Flowers since he understands how it works. Additionally, the relationship between the two is strong.

“He’s cool,” said Flowers, who also has an offer from Florida. “I like being around him. I can relate to him. Somebody I can talk to, just having a good relationship with (him).”
