4-Star RB Prospect Demetrious Flowers Commits to Arizona State Sun Devils

Arizona State picked up a key commitment for its 2018 recruiting class Tuesday in the form of coveted running back Demetrious Flowers.

Greg Biggins of Fox Sports confirmed the offensive playmaker's choice of the Sun Devils.

Flowers later made the decision official on social media:

He's a 4-star prospect who rates as the No. 23 overall running back in next year's incoming class, according to the Scout.com rankings. The powerful rusher is also listed as the third-best running back from California.

The St. John Bosco High School standout is a physical presence at 6'0'', 210 pounds. He's going to make his biggest impact running between the tackles, especially in short-yardage situations, but he's showcased enough versatility to become a three-down workhorse.

D1Bound Nation provided a further scouting report of the newest Sun Devil:

Flowers could end up making an immediate impact, too.

Demario Richard and Kalen Ballage, who remain atop Arizona State's running back depth chart after ranking first and second in rushing yards last season, are both seniors. They will leave a major void to fill heading into the 2018 campaign.
