Recruiting profile for 2024 4-Star prospect Aaron Flowers

Updated recruiting profile for 2024 four-star safety Aaron Flowers.

Armed with a top-five class in the 2023 recruiting cycle, the Oklahoma Sooners turn their attention to following that up with another highly-rated class in 2024.

Over the last couple of months, Brent Venables and the coaching staff have been getting some positive buzz on several of their prospects. One of which is four-star safety, Aaron Flowers.

Out of Forney, Texas, Flowers currently has 16 Power Five offers across the country, but the Sooners appear to be leading the pack for his commitment. He’s a versatile defensive back that could help a number of teams at both cornerback and safety. He can play in the box, deep middle, he can play on the outside and on the inside. He’s a defensive coordinator’s dream with his flexibility.

Flowers has the coverage skills to carry wide receivers in man-to-man and the physicality to help in run support. He tackles with an edge in both the run game and the passing game, which helps him to be a tone-setter for his defense.

He’s being projected at safety at the college level, but his coverage skills will give him the opportunity to make a huge impact in all facets of the game.

Recruits react to weekend spent in Norman with the Oklahoma Sooners

Oklahoma hosted an important recruiting weekend for the 2024 class, and here’s how they reacted on social media.

A rough first season on the gridiron for Brent Venables, and his staff didn’t slow them down one bit on the recruiting trail for 2023. And it’s unlikely to hinder anything they do in the 2024 cycle as well.

A month removed from a strong performance in the Cheez-It Bowl, the Oklahoma coaching and recruiting staff have been grinding in preparation for this past weekend’s “Junior Day” on campus at the University of Oklahoma.

The Sooners hosted a number of top prospects in the 2024 recruiting class, including four-star quarterback [autotag]Michael Hawkins[/autotag], four-star running back [autotag]Jeremy Payne[/autotag], four-star OL [autotag]Casey Poe[/autotag], and four-star safety [autotag]Aaron Flowers[/autotag]. Each has been trending in the Oklahoma Sooners’ favor.

Venables and his staff also hosted four-star in-state product [autotag]Xadavien Sims[/autotag], a defensive lineman out of Durant, Oklahoma. Michigan State is heavily pursuing Sims in addition to David Stone, who will be coming to Norman in a couple of months. These will be two crucial recruiting battles for the Sooners, especially after losing Norman’s Bai Jobe to the Spartans.

The Sooners’ staff has shown that they can recruit in the little more than a year they’ve spent in Norman. This weekend was a big opportunity to make some headway in some notable recruitments.

Here’s how a number of those prospects reacted to their time in Norman.

Oklahoma Sooners receive predictions for several 2024 4-Star prospects

Over the last few days, the Oklahoma Sooners received predictions to land 2024 4-star prospects Eli Bowen, Caden Durham, and Aaron Flowers.

The 2023 recruiting cycle is nearing the early signing period, which opens on Wednesday. With [autotag]Peyton Bowen[/autotag], [autotag]David Hicks[/autotag], and [autotag]Tausili Akana[/autotag] the names to watch over the next week and on national signing day in February, Oklahoma is busy trying to finish this class with a bang.

The Sooners are also making strides in the 2024 recruiting class. Over the weekend, Oklahoma earned recruiting predictions for a trio of 2024 four-star prospects, who happen to each be from the North Texas area.

Oklahoma received projections for cornerback Eli Bowen, running back Caden Durham, and safety Aaron Flowers.

Here’s a quick look at these prospects.

OU, Bedlam to play host to big names with a number of prospects descending on Norman

Oklahoma takes on in-state rival Oklahoma State for Bedlam and will be doing so with a massive group of recruits in attendance. From @thatmanbryant

There’s a fairly significant amount of importance surrounding Bedlam this year. The amount of games left between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State has been reduced significantly with Oklahoma’s impending move to the SEC on the horizon.

We may have 2023 and 2024, but the rivalry will cease as we know it in the next few years. Every game has always mattered but these last few, like the one on Saturday night, will mean a lot more.

Additionally, Oklahoma is fighting for bowl eligibility. They need one more win to participate in 2022’s bowl season.

Lastly and arguably most importantly, Oklahoma has its biggest recruiting weekend of the football season with Oklahoma State coming to town. We’ll revisit 2022 Bedlam several years from now and look back and remember it as a pivotal moment in Oklahoma’s last five to ten years.

There are some big-time names across multiple recruiting classes that will be in attendance for Oklahoma including five-star DT and Texas A&M commit David Hicks and recently dubbed 2024 five-star DT David Stone. More than 20 recruits have already committed to being in Norman, some via social media and others per OUInsider.com.

Oklahoma Sooners offers four-star safety out of Texas Aaron Flowers

Oklahoma goes back to Texas as they offer four-star DB Aaron Flowers out of Forney.

The safety position has been a position that has struggled this season in the new defensive system brought over by Brent Venables and Ted Roof. Safeties coach Brandon Hall has had to work around his most consistent player, Billy Bowman missing extended time due to injury. Every week has been an adventure at the safety spot, and Hall is just trying to find the right guys to fit the system.

On the recruiting trail Hall has cast an extremely wide net to many safeties across the country. His latest offer went out to Forney, Texas, for four-star safety Aaron Flowers. Flowers stands 6-foot-1 and displays positional versatility. He was a first-team all-district cornerback in 2021.

Flowers is a top 250 player nationally, but is by no means a finished product. His versatility and ability to play corner and safety gives him some upside. Brent Venables loves his defensive backs to have flexibility in his multiple-defensive scheme.
