One of the friendliest Bobcats, Deonte Flowers evolved into an All-America cornerback
JULY 2: Each day until Montana State's 2019 season opener the staff of Bobcats By The Numbers will offer a look at one of the players to make one of the school's all-time teams, in alphabetical order. On November 21, 1933, The Exponent announced 37 players selected by a panel of former players and coaches, divided into three teams that comprised Montana State's "mythical" all-time team. In 1969, the Billings Gazette's Norm Clarke conducted a poll to select the school's all-time team, and again in 2000 Bobcat Athletics and the Billings Gazette selected a third all-time team. The BBTN staff added players from the 21st century.
Deonte Flowers, CB, 2011-14
ALL-TIME TEAM: 21st Century Addition
HONORS: 3rd Team All-America and 3rd Team All-Big Sky 2014, 2nd Team All-Big Sky 2013.
A CLOSER LOOK: There are two versions of Deonte Flowers that Bobcat fans probably remember very well. The first is the freshman who served as the team's third corner in 2011. He was always game and didn't really get beat repeatedly, but he may have been flagged for more defensive pass interference calls than anyone ever. Fast forward a year and followers of Bobcat football saw a confident starter locking down one side of the field, a player with some length and physicality and now honed-in technique. The Deonte Flowers of 2012-14 was an increasingly brilliant player, chipping in on a pair of Big Sky titles and landing All-America honors as a senior. He broke up 23 passes in his final two seasons. Flowers, known for his friendly demeanor and thousand-watt smile, continues to live in Bozeman.
