Palos Verdes’ Flowers is continuing to bloom
Los Angeles Times
|August 19, 2025
Defensive back has a strong work ethic to go with plenty of ‘God-given ability.’
ERIC SONDHEIMER Los Angeles Times JALEN Flowers, 6 feet 2 and 175 pounds, has the rare skill of being able to stick with any and all receivers.
Eighth in a series of stories profiling top high school football players by position. Today, Jalen Flowers, Palos Verdes defensive back.
Jalen Flowers made a spectacular one-handed interception in a one-on-one drill during the spring. He didn’t run off the field waving his arms wildly or proclaim he’s the greatest lockdown cornerback since Deion Sanders.
“I'm not really a talker,” he said. “I let my game show it.”
He gives Palos Verdes High a 6-foot-2, 175-pound sophomore defensive back with the rare skill of being able to stick with any and all receivers. They can make moves, they can run their best patterns, but escaping Flowers doesn’t happen very often.
His instincts, lanky frame and knowledge from playing receiver come into play at a position in which misjudgments or a failure to respect an opponent can leave the defender getting burned for a touchdown.
