The countdown is on for a 4-star wide receiver in the 2023 recruiting class.

Rico Flores Jr., a Folsom, Calif. wide receiver, set a commitment date of July 3. He has a list of 5 schools he’s still considering, with Ohio State being the lone program out of the B1G. Notre Dame, Georgia, UCLA and Texas are the other 4 still in the mix.

Flores made his announcement with a tweet this week.

Per 247Sports, Flores ranks as a Top 200 overall prospect for the 2023 recruiting class. Among wide receivers, he’s listed at No. 26.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound wide receiver had received nearly 30 offers during the recruiting process. At Folsom High School last year, Flores caught 31 passes for 606 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Ohio State currently owns the B1G’s top-ranked recruiting class for the 2023 cycle. The Buckeyes are also No. 2 nationally.
