MJ Flowers brings burst and depth to UConn’s backfield
In the 2025 season, MJ Flowers showed explosive, efficient work at UConn, rushing for 69 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, with a strong 4.9 yards per carry and a 23-yard long run. He’s a compact but sturdy 6-foot-1, 193-pound back with proven production from Eastern Illinois, where he piled up 1,837 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns over three seasons. If you need a runner who can hit creases, provide veteran maturity, and offer some downhill pop, he’s worth a look.
