Early life
[edit]Flores attended Gretna High School in Gretna, Nebraska. He was rated as a three-star recruit and committed to play college football for the Oklahoma State Cowboys over Nebraska.[1]
College career
[edit]As a freshman in 2023, Flores did not play in any games and took a redshirt.[2] In 2024, he did not appear in any games due a season-ending lower leg injury.[3] Heading into the 2025 season, Flores competed with TCU transfer Hauss Hejny for the Cowboys starting quarterback job.[4][5] Heading into week one, Flores lost the starting job, but an injury to Hejny forced him into the game, where he completed 13 of his 20 passes for 136 yards in a victory versus UT Martin.[6] After the game, it was announced that Hejny would be out for an extended period of time, giving Flores the starting job.[7]
