The athletic, powerful linebacker could be a differencemaker for the Missouri Tigers' defense.
Not only for what he could bring to the Tigers' defense but also with his personality and work ethic. Missouri linebackers coach D.J. Smith complimented the early transfer portal addition's football intelligence and motor. Flagg quickly gained the attention of the Missouri coaching staff at spring practices for all the right reasons.
In his junior season in 2018, Flagg recorded 144 tackles, including 33 for loss, four sacks, four pass breakups and five forced fumbles. In addition to Miami, he received offers from Boston College, Houston SMU and Purdue among others.Flagg was recruited and coached during his true freshman year by former Missouri defensive coordinator Blake Baker. The relationship likely played a part in his decision to transfer to Missouri as Baker was still with Missouri at the time Flagg transferred.
In the 2022 and 2023 seasons, he started in nine and two games respectively but still was an important part of the Miami defense.
