The partnership includes memorabilia and trading cards, including autographed cards and cards featuring game-worn memorabilia.

Flagg already has a Bowman U NOW card commemorating his 42-point game vs. Notre Dame, a record for an ACC freshman. His first full product card will be in the 2025 Bowman University Chrome Basketball set.
