UNLV spring Day 10 recap: Jericho Flowers returns to cornerback

Jericho Flowers’ irregular 2016 season started with a triceps injury during the first day of spring football.

Flowers fell behind on the cornerback depth chart because of the setback and never saw a snap on defense. He went from playing only on special teams to being the No. 1 wide receiver by the end of the season.

“I wouldn’t call it a weird year because I played offense in high school, but it did take some time to get used to,” said Flowers, who started two games at wide receiver and recorded 10 receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown.
