While Flores Jr. still has multiple visits to different schools on his docket, Ohio State is certainly a viable option for the 6-foot-1, 190-pound wideout rated the 179th-best player in the 2023 class and the 25th-best wide receiver according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. OSU wide receivers coach Brian Hartline and Flores Jr. speak multiple times a week, something that he says makes him feel like a priority to the Buckeyes.
While Flores Jr. has only recently been on OSU’s radar, getting offered in late November, he’s started for Folsom High School since he was a sophomore. Most big-time recruits generally have a moment, whether it comes in a practice or a game, that truly showcases why they’re going to play high-level college football. Well, Flores Jr.’s came early in his prep career.
“I had a go route, and the defense lined up in a one-high safety look,” Flores Jr. said. “He was playing more in the middle of the field and I was at the boundary and had a go route. So I’m running off the line, and mind you he’s playing off, so I’m just running, running, running and I caught up with him. The ball was in the air and I was just focused on the ball. It was the craziest catch. I don’t even know how to explain how I caught it. I guess I just focused so much on the ball.
“He got a lot of double coverage, because he plays into the boundary for us. He’s no doubt the No. 1 receiver so he’ll get a linebacker walked on top of him, a corner on him and a safety over the top.”

Chris Holtmann Says It’s “No Secret” Ohio State is “Really Struggling” Late in Season After Second Straight Upset LossOhio State has now lost back-to-back games to bottom-four teams in the Big Ten, and Chris Holtmann says 'it's no secret' that the Buckeyes are 'obviously really struggling.' Poor coaching will do that. Lot of unproductive upperclassmen and transfers. You could swap out the roster after Liddell and Branham with most D1 programs and not notice a difference. Lack of player development is getting very hard to ignore. Something happened with this group…they look disconnected-like they don’t like each other- out on the floor…refuse to play team defense which catches up to them when the shots stop falling…no energy…idk something more amiss than missing some shots
