Expert Analysis
Patton Fitzpatrick | Prep Redzone Scout
The 2024 hybrid safety / outside linebacker is building off his impressive junior season with an even better senior campaign. Flanagan does it all for the Roadrunners, as he is a polished pass rusher, shows elite physicality in the run game, and can cover. It all stems from Flanagan greatest asset, his ability to tackle. Whether it’s on the edge, in the box, or in the open field, Flanagan is as sure-handed a tackle as one will find. He has solid footwork, a strong lower base, and brings his arms on every tackle. Flanagan has a nose for the football and will make plays in a variety of ways come Friday night.
