He'll suit up for the Lobos (2-and-0) when they face the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton.

The Crusaders (1-and-0) are ranked third in the Division III poll.

The game will be the American Southwest Conference opener for both teams.

Flynt will not become the oldest college football player, as Edgard Barreto played for Ashland (Ohio) University when he was 60 in 1997.

Barreto, however, got in for only one play in the fourth quarter of a blowout in the next-to-last game of the season.

So Flynt could be considered the oldest player counted on to be a regular contributor.
