Xavien "Zay" Flowers showed playmaking skills as a receiver and rusher his true freshman season with the Eagles, starting two of 13 appearances (22-341-15.5, three TDs receiving; 27-195-7.2, one TD rushing).

He set career marks with 78 receptions, 1,077 receiving yards (13.8 per) and tied for fifth in the FBS with 12 receiving touchdowns in 12 starts (also 12-40-3.3 rushing, 7-43-6.1 punt returns) in 2022. -- by Chad Reuter
