Four-star receiver includes Ohio State in top three schools

The Ohio State football program continues to mine for talent at the wide receiver position despite having a ton of talent on hand and on the way. After all, when you’re coming off of two wide-receivers being selected in the first round of the NFL draft all while having some of the best college quarterbacks coming to the program, what pass-catcher wouldn’t want to play for Ryan Day and the Buckeyes.

One of OSU’s priority targets at the receiver position in the upcoming class of 2023 is Rico Flores Jr. out of Folsom, California, and he also is impressed with Ohio State, including the Bucks in his top three just announced on his Twitter account Thursday.

At 6-foot, 1-inch, and 190-pounds, Flores is ranked as the No. 26 wide receiver and 193rd overall prospect in the class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Also included in Flores Jr’s top three are Notre Dame and Georgia.

There are still a month and a half before we know a final decision. But if Ohio State is going to land his services, it may have to find a way to get out in front of the Fighting Irish which appears to be the slight favorite to land his services at this point.
