Jaxon Flowers entered Week 6 already among Florida<\/a>‘s interception leaders.<\/p>\n

Then the Bolles<\/a> junior doubled his total in one night.<\/p>\n

Flowers intercepted three passes, including one he returned for a touchdown, and blocked a punt in the Bulldogs’ 58-10 win over Baldwin<\/a> on Sept. 25.<\/p>\n

The performance gave Flowers six interceptions through five games, tying Wakulla’s Demarkus Roberts for the most in Florida, according to MaxPreps.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Flowers spent his first two varsity seasons listed at quarterback before adding defensive back to his role this fall.<\/p>\n

Five games into the season, nobody in Florida has more interceptions.<\/p>\n

Flowers Reaches Six Interceptions Through Five Games<\/p>\n

Flowers and Roberts are the only Florida players with six interceptions through Week 6, according to MaxPreps.<\/p>\n

Miami’s Caleb Morris, Boone’s CJ Nassar and Killian’s Antonio Simmons are next with five apiece.<\/p>\n

Flowers entered Bolles’ Week 6 matchup against Baldwin with three interceptions through the Bulldogs’ first four games.<\/p>\n

His first came in a season-opening 20-19 loss to Columbia. The Tigers have since improved to 6-0.<\/p>\n

Flowers added two interceptions in a 35-13 victory over Bishop Kenny on Sept. 11. He did not record an interception the following week against Oakleaf but broke up two passes in Bolles’ 42-24 victory.<\/p>\n

Flowers intercepted three passes in the 58-10 victory, including one he returned for a touchdown, and blocked a punt as Bolles won its fourth consecutive game.<\/p>\n

Through five games, Flowers has recorded 31 tackles, including 24 solo stops, six interceptions and two pass breakups. His interceptions have produced 60 return yards.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Background Carries Into The Secondary<\/p>\n

Flowers’ emergence in the secondary has added another dimension to a player who entered high school playing quarterback. <\/p>\n

As a sophomore, he completed 5 of 7 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 86 yards and another score.<\/p>\n

He continues to contribute at quarterback this fall, completing both of his pass attempts for 35 yards and a touchdown, but most of his statistical production has come on defense.<\/p>\n

Flowers is listed as a defensive back and quarterback by MaxPreps and has completed both of his pass attempts this season for 35 yards and a touchdown. Most of his statistical production, however, has come on defense.<\/p>\n

College programs were already evaluating Flowers in the secondary when the season began. During Bolles’ opener against Columbia, 247Sports reporter Tyler Harden identified Flowers as a Florida 2028 safety target while documenting his first interception of the season.<\/p>\n

Florida 2028 safety target Jaxon Flowers (7) comes up with the interception.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s got two tackles and a pick almost at the end of the first quarter.<\/p>\n

Lots of upside.@JaxonFlowers7<\/a> <\/p>\n

He is rated as a four-star prospect by Rivals in the Class of 2028. Vanderbilt became the latest program to offer Flowers this week, an offer he announced Tuesday on social media.<\/p>\n

Miami is also among the programs recruiting Flowers, who has discussed an upcoming visit with the Hurricanes.<\/p>\n

Flowers’ Breakout Comes During Bolles’ 4-1 Start<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs’ only loss came by one point against undefeated Columbia in the season opener. Since then, Bolles has defeated Archbishop McCarthy 21-14, Bishop Kenny 35-13, Oakleaf 42-24 and Baldwin 58-10.<\/p>\n

Bolles is No. 34 in the latest MaxPreps Florida rankings.<\/p>\n

Five games into his junior season, Flowers has six interceptions for a 4-1 team, a total no player in Florida has surpassed.<\/p>\n
