2020 North Shore (TX) 3-star LB Corey Flagg’s first conversation with the Miami Hurricanes’ defensive coaching staff was certainly a memorable one. Earlier yesterday, Flagg received a FaceTime call from none other than UM defensive coordinator Blake Baker, who then announced along with the rest of his defensive staff that Flagg had an offer to Miami.
“Man, it was crazy and it was a honor, as well as a blessing,” Flagg said. “Coach Baker, coach (Jon) Patke, and the whole defensive staff FaceTimed me, it was live!”
With a subpar crop of linebackers in Florida this cycle, Baker has gone national and offered a host of out of state LB’s. Flagg, who lists himself at 6’0” 226 pounds, is the latest in that line and he says he’ll be taking a Miami visit shortly to follow up on his interest in the Canes.
“I do plan to visit Miami very soon and I’m very interested in them,” Flagg said.
Flagg says UM likes him as an inside ‘backer and offers a simple explanation for why he’s interested in the Hurricanes.
“I like the way their defense plays.”
As Flagg has been busy landing new offers seemingly every other day, he hasn’t been able to narrow things down to a top group yet, and prefers to keep his options open as he continues to evaluates all of his choices.
“The teams coming after me the hardest are all my offers,” Flagg said. “Boston College, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and others.”
Along with 5-star RB teammate Zachary Evans, Flagg helped lead North Shore to the Texas 6A state championship as a junior, where the Mustangs took home the title over Duncanville. During Flagg's 3rd year of high school, he recorded 144 tackles, 33 TFL, 4 sacks, and 5 forced fumbles.
“My junior year was great, we just came off a state championship,” Flagg said. “I’m looking forward to my upcoming senior season.”
In terms of coming to a final decision, Flagg says he has no plan at the moment and is simply taking his time enjoying the process. When he finally does make that decision, the school that will land Flagg will offer him both a comfortable environment as well as great academics.
“I’m not sure when I will make my decision, but I’m looking for a great chemical engineering program as well as where I feel like home is.”
