OSU QB Commit Zane Flores Has Strong Week at Elite 11 Finals, Misses on Finishing Top 11

The Elite 11 Finals is officially in the books and OSU quarterback commit Zane Flores — who was mentioned several times throughout the week as a recruit performing as one of the top 11 quarterbacks at the camp — did not finish inside the top 11 when rankings were handed down by the coaching staff at the end of the event.

Flores nonetheless had a very strong week uncorking bombs and showcasing his skills as one of the best arm talents in his class — while being ranked as the lowest-rated prospect in attendance at the prestigious event.

The top 11 quarterbacks were named below. OU quarterback commit Jackson Arnold was consistently a top-two performer all week, and he took home Elite 11 Finals MVP honors.

Flores committed to OSU back in April after an official visit — his only official visit of his recruitment — and while he’s been very active in recent months on the camp circuit, he appears to still be solidly committed to the Cowboys.

“It is nice [to have the weight of recruitment off his shoulders], because it was pretty crazy with (schools) reaching out in the spring,” Flores told the Omaha World-Herald this week “But now I can have all my focus on our team and what we need to do to get better. There’s definitely less distractions and it’s not as stressful.”

Flores added: “[OSU] just felt like home, and (the Oklahoma State staff) has been great to me throughout the entire process . . . They’re all great guys and I’m excited to get down there when the time comes.”
