Cordale Flott, NFL Draft
Flott was tasked with stepping into a starting role this season with the losses of Ricks and Stingley. He would appear in 29 games over three seasons, with a career-high 11 games in 2021. Cordale Flott played a major role as a boundary cornerback for the defense.
This past season, Flott tallied 40 total tackles with one tackle for loss, one interception, one forced fumble, and three passes defended. In 2020, Flott accumulated 43 tackles to set a career-high. However, late in the season, he wasn’t available for the defense. They would have to rely on unproven guys as even Dwight McGlothern wouldn’t play in the bowl game.
What Now?
It remains to be seen if McGlothern will return to the team in 2022. They also have a young cornerback in Sage Ryan that will need to step up and an incoming four-star freshman with Laterrance Welch. They added Ryan’s high school teammate Jordan Allen in the 2022 class as well.
The staff under Brian Kelly might need to grab a cornerback or two from the transfer portal with plenty of options available.
