The Ohio State football team got some good news when it found out four-star receiver, Rico Flores Jr., trimmed his list to five with the Buckeyes making the cut. Joining Ohio State in the top tier are Georgia, Notre Dame, Texas, and UCLA.

Flores hails from talent-rich California and is the No. 22 ranked receiver in the 2023 class according to 247Sports composite rankings. Flores is a product of Folsom High School and also happens to be teammates with tight end Walker Lyons who also put Ohio State on his trimmed list earlier this month.

Flores has said he’d like to make a decision sometime in the summer before his senior year begins.

Of course, the Buckeyes are still in play for the No. 1 receiver in the country Brandon Inniss who will visit Columbus in April, as well as the No. 3 receiver, Carnell Tate.
