Younger Flacco brother to play baseball at CCBC-Catonsville

Brian Flacco, who like his two older brothers was a multi-sport star at Audubon (N.J.) High, plans to attend CCBC-Catonsville and play baseball. Flacco is the younger brother of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and Mike Flacco, who spent a year playing baseball at CCBC-Catonsville before being drafted by the Orioles in the 31st round in 2009; Mike plays first base for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds. Brian Flacco, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, was a three-sport standout at Audubon. In the fall, he rushed for 1,159 yards and 16 touchdowns as a running back and made 171 tackles and forced 11 fumbles at linebacker, earning All-South Jersey football honors. He was a two-time district champion as a wrestler, and on the baseball diamond, had a .402 average 33 runs scored as a senior. "He's a gamer," Audubon baseball coach Rich Horan told the Inquirer. "He doesn't get worked up. He keeps the status quo. But he's always going to play hard."
