Fluker joined Alabama in 2009 and redshirted his freshman year. He became a starting right tackle for the Crimson Tide in the 2010, and helped UA to back-to-back BCS championships in 2011 and ’12. As a redshirt junior, Fluker was first-team All-SEC and a second-team All-American (Walter Camp, Associated Press).
The Chargers drafted Fluker No. 11 in the 2013 draft. In 2015, he moved from right tackle to right guard, which could help him find a new team.
