Justin Flowe (LB UNLV)


As a Prospect

24/7 Sports​

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (99)
  • Natl.: 11
  • ILB: 1
  • CA: 3
24/7 H.S. Scouting report (Greg Biggins)
Flowe has a prototype inside linebacker frame at a rock-solid 6-2, 225 pounds. He has a powerful lower body, and plays with maniacal effort and passion for the game. He has good straight-line speed and has worked hard to improve his lateral mobility and ability to drop and cover. He’s a huge hitter and one of the most physical football players to come out of California in years. He’s relentless in how he plays, refuses to stay blocked and does a great job in pursuit. He’s tremendous getting in the backfield and making plays. Has rare timing and instincts. He can take on a block, disengage and make a play as well as run down plays going away from him. His motor and the edge he plays with really separates him from other linebackers. He has the ability to elevate everyone around him by how hard he plays and the emotion he brings to the field. His work ethic and leadership is unmatched as well. He projects as a impact upper tier Power 5 starter and future high-round NFL draft pick.

Just sayin':

1. Obviously 24/7 Sports got that review wrong. Just another example where the recruit's star rating does not guarantee success. Who were the 10 players ranked above him nationally you ask:

1. Bryce Young (QB) Carolina Panthers (#1 in NFL draft)
2. D.J. Uiagalelei (Pro QB) Loa Angles Chargers (undrafted free agent)
3. Bryan Breeze (DT) New Orleans Saints (drafted 29th overall)
4. Julian Fleming (WR)
5. Will Anderson (DE) Houston Texans (drafted 3rd overall)
6. Gervon Fexter (DT) Chicago Bears (drafted 53rd overall)
7. Kelee Ringo (CB) Philadelphia Eagles (drafted 105th overall)
8. Paris Johnson Jr. (OT) Arizona Cardinals (drafted 6th overall)
9. Jalen Carter (DT) Philadelphia Eagles (drafted 9th overall)
10. Arik Gilbert (TE)

2. Eight out of those 10 are in the NFL; sadly. Ohio State had one of the players that didn't make it.
It definitely happens. I remember when OSU landed 2 5star defensive players in 1 day in Jashon Cornell and Justin Hilliard. And neither panned out

WR Chris Henry Jr. (Official Thread)

The 51 freshmen poised to make an impact on the 2026 college football season​

Chris Henry Jr., WR, Ohio State: Henry was the top-ranked receiver in the 2026 class. Even if the touches won't come easy behind Jeremiah Smith and Brandon Innis early on, few receivers can match his skill set. Listed at 6-5, 195 pounds, his blend of size, twitchy movement and vertical ball skills draw Tee Higgins comparisons. Henry is a 50-50-ball nightmare who can climb the ladder and win after the catch. Ohio State can afford to work Henry in patiently, and it could pay off big.

RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

The 51 freshmen poised to make an impact on the 2026 college football season​

Legend Bey, RB, Ohio State: Bo Jackson cracked the 1,000-yard plateau a year ago for Ohio State and emerged as the unquestioned lead back. Bey lacks the every-down qualities of Jackson but has better speed, posting a blazing wind-aided 10.23 100-meter dash in 2025. Expect Bey to take some of the load off Jackson this year in Arthur Smith's offense. A former high school quarterback, Bey is a dynamic athlete who could plug in all over the offense, from the backfield to the slot, and give the Buckeyes a versatile chess piece to move around the board.

2028 MA QB Christopher Vargas is a Buckeye!!!

He must be that good that nobody on this board even asked if he was mobile.

I can’t remember the last time mobility wasn’t a topic of discussion in a QB commits thread.

We’re gettin’ old.
I was going to wait until his first incompletion on 3rd down before I asked why he didn’t just run it.

Trying to be more patient in my old age.

QB J.T. Barrett (B1G FOY, All American, Silver Football Award, 3x B1G QBOY, National Champion, OSU HOF, QB Coach Chicago Bears)

Dude doesn't get the credit he deserves. May have not been the ideal NFL QB but his redshirt freshman season was unbelievable and not for his injury may have been a heisman finalist that year, and laid the groundwork to get us in the playoffs. 2016 and 17 may not have been the best finishes but he made a lot of great plays. That Penn State comeback is still legendary.

Anybody ever heard of Dueling Axes?

Popular sports bar chain closes all locations, no bankruptcy​

Sports bars, brewpubs, and craft breweries have struggled for a variety of reasons since the Covid-19 pandemic, including declining foot traffic and rising costs of products and labor, driven by inflation.

In some cases, an establishment closes for a mysterious, undisclosed reason.

Axe-throwing sports bar chain Dueling Axes has closed all of its locations as a result of circumstances outside of the company's control, according to WCMH-TV in Columbus, Ohio.

Dueling Axes closes all locations

The company did not indicate what circumstances caused it to shut down all five locations as of July 31.

A spokesperson for Dueling Axes was no immediately available for comment.

"The closures resulted from circumstances outside our control and we are deeply saddened that our eight-year journey has ended this way," Dueling Axes said in a statement. "For now, founders Paul and Jess are focused on responsibly wrapping up the company's operations and moving forward into their next chapter."

The Columbus-based axe-throwing sports bar chain has not filed for bankruptcy at last check, and the owners have not revealed their future plans.

Axe-throwing bar opened in 2018​

Dueling Axes was founded in 2018 by co-owners Jess Hellmich and Paul Sherry in Downtown Columbus. The sports bar consisted of axe-throwing lanes with targets, separated by netted barriers to protect participants, a full bar, and plenty of, mounted large format television screens for sports fans to watch their games.

The axe-throwing sports bar also opened locations in New Albany, Ohio, and Las Vegas in December 2020, Grove City, Ohio in July 2025 and Cincinnati in August 2025, according to WCMH.

The Downtown Columbus location didn't sell food, but allowed outside food to be brought in. Other locations had kitchens, such as the Cincinnati Dueling Axes, which offered axe-throwing deals with a food menu that included flatbread pizzas, Cuban sandwiches, Paninis, and appetizers such as nachos and tots, according to its website.

Farewell messages from owners​

The Dueling Axes New Albany webpage posted a closing message for customers:

"This location has permanently closed. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close our New Albany/Hamilton Quarter location," the message read.

"We are incredibly grateful to every guest, team member, neighbor, and partner who supported this location over the years. Thank you for choosing us for your nights out, celebrations, team events, birthdays, date nights, and everything in between.

CB Eli Apple (All B1G, National Champion)

Login to view embedded media
Just sayin': He had a great run at Ohio State, played 11 seasons in the NFL, and made over $25M in just his NFL contracts.


However, what I mostly remember mostly about him is his mother. His mother Anne Apple led an advocacy effort in January 2015 helping parents of Ohio State players secure travel stipends from the College Football Playoff to attend the national championship game.

Background on the Travel Stipend Fight
    • High Costs: Families spent thousands of dollars out of pocket to travel and watch the team play deep into the postseason.
    • The Push: Annie Apple and other football parents spoke out publicly and pressured organizers regarding the financial burden.
    • The Result: The College Football Playoff and NCAA eventually provided a travel stipend (around $1,250 per parent) to help families offset travel and lodging expenses.
Needless to say, that was years before the start of NIL...... :lol:
