Flowe Named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week
09/07/21 | Football
EUGENE, Ore. — Linebacker Justin Flowe was named the Pac-12 freshman of the week on Tuesday for his standout performance in Oregon's 31-24 season-opening win over Fresno State.
Flowe led the Ducks' defense with a whopping 14 tackles in his first career start, including five solo takedowns. The Chino, Calif., native also had a tackle for loss and forced a crucial fumble that set up a game-tying field goal for Oregon in the fourth quarter.
The first Pac-12 freshman of the week for the 2021 season, Flowe's 14 tackles are the most by a UO freshman since Troy Dye had 14 on Sept. 21, 2016. He is the first Oregon player since 2007 and just the fourth since 2000 to record at least 14 tackles and force a fumble in the same game, and he is the eighth player in program history to have at least 14 tackles in a season opener.
Flowe leads the Pac-12 in tackles after week one, and he was one of four Ducks to force a fumble on Saturday. Flowe and the Ducks – who moved to No. 12 in the AP top-25 poll on Tuesday – will travel to Columbus, Ohio, to face No. 3 Ohio State this Saturday at 9 a.m. PT on FOX.
