Workhorse Bearkats back with record-setting production
Tim Flanders is a compact, physical, high-volume running back whose calling card is durability, vision, and big-play finishing ability; at Sam Houston, he became the program’s all-time leading rusher and the first back to lead his league in rushing four straight seasons, including 1,430 yards and 14 TDs in 2013.[2][3] He matters because he wasn’t just productive—he consistently carried an offense, showed reliable touchdown production, and delivered explosive runs, which are the traits teams value when they want a proven every-down runner.[2][5] For a team, he fits as a dependable, tough interior runner with proven résumé-driven upside rather than a pure speed merchant.[2][3]
