The Senior, directed by Rod Lurie (The Outpost, The Contender), is based on the true story and book The Senior: My Amazing Year as a 59-Year-Old College Football Linebacker by Mike Flynt and Don Yaeger.
In 1971, Flynt was expelled from Sul Ross State University’s football team, losing his senior season — something he regretted for decades. In 2007, at age 59, he discovered he still had eligibility left, rejoined the team, and became the oldest contributing player in NCAA history, inspiring many with his story of redemption.
The film brings this remarkable comeback to the screen, with Michael Chiklis playing Flynt. Known for portraying strong, deeply human characters, Chiklis embodies Flynt’s determination to finish what he started and prove it’s never too late for a second chance.
