2024 QB Josh Flowers decommits from Mississippi State
Mobile (Ala.) Baker High School three-star quarterback Josh Flowers has decommitted from Mississippi State.
Flowers had previously been committed to the Bulldogs since June but opted to reopen his recruitment after new head coach Jeff Lebby was hired.
“First, I want to thank the coaches and staff for recruiting me,” he wrote on Twitter. “It was an honor to be the first commit of the 2024 class. Next I want to thank amazing State fans for making me feel at home. My ears are still ringing from the cow bells at the Egg Bowl. In the light of the recent events and changes, I believe it is my interest to decommit from Mississippi State. My recruitment is now 100% open.”
The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder is the No. 510 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 31 quarterback and the No. 26 recruit in the state of Mississippi.
In three seasons at the varsity level, Flowers threw for over 5,500 yards and 50 touchdowns while completing 66 percent of his passes. He also added more than 3,600 rushing yards and 41 TDs on the ground.
