Oregon already had a strong piece at inside linebacker with the November commitment of Noah Sewell.
With the addition of Justin Flowe on Early Signing Day, the Ducks now have the two top-rated inside linebackers in the country.
They’re just piling onto last year’s class that was highlighted by 2018 ALL-USA Defensive Player of the Year and 2019 Pac-12 Football Freshman Defensive Player of the Year Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Flowe played a role on all three phases of the game this season. He had 123 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and 10 sacks with five forced fumbles. On special teams, he had a blocked punt and a blocked field goal. On offense, he carried the ball 23 times for 238 yards and five touchdowns.

Ranked No. 4 in the Chosen 25, Flowe is now the second-highest-ranked Oregon commit of all time, behind only Thibodeaux, according to OregonLive.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound athlete chose Clemson over finalists Clemson, Miami and USC.
Sewell, who missed time early in the season, finished the year with 103 tackles, 12 TFLs and 4 sacks in just 10 games. On offense, he had 968 total yards and 16 touchdowns.
He is the No. 9 all-time Oregon commit, according to OregonLive.
Oregon won the Pac-12 championship, earning a trip to the Rose Bowl, and are No. 6 in the rankings. With Flowe and Sewell coming aboard to beef up the defense, the Ducks are gearing up for a run at the College Football Playoffs in the near future.
