The 6-foot-1, 305-pound recruit holds 24 offers, but the Bruins are not one of them. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, UCF is leading for his commitment at 23.7%. 

Flynn Jr. told On3’s Jeremy Johnson that he plans to commit on Aug. 3, his birthday. He spoke with Johnson about multiple contenders for his pledge.

Georgia Tech: “The vibe there is different now. There’s going to be lots of changes and lots of winning this upcoming year… They’re one of my top schools.”

LSU: “What I look forward to with LSU is trying to figure out if I fit here. I want to know if I see myself playing here.”

Michigan: “I want to see what makes them so great. I want to know what they do differently because obviously, they’re doing something well over there because being a two-time Joe Moore Award-winning doesn’t just happen.” 

UCF: “I got to ride with coach (Gus) Malzahn and they really threw out the red carpet for me. They made me feel wanted.”

Flynn Jr. has an On3 NIL Valuation of $56K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
