Academic Achievement

Flores has maintained a 3.97 GPA in the classroom. Taking advantage of NCAA early signing rules, Flores inked a financial-aid agreement that paved the way for him to enroll early at Oklahoma State University, where he will play football. He graduated from high school in December and will attend classes during this spring’s semester.
