QB Zane Flores has K-State, Ohio State trips lined up

Fresh off a new offer from the Washington Huskies, it appears Grenta (Neb.) High School three-star quarterback Zane Flores is about to have a very busy few weeks.

According to a report from The Athletic’s Mitch Sherman, the state champion quarterback will be on a visit to Kansas State on March 31 and Ohio State on April 4. Zane Flores also plans to visit Oklahoma State sometime in April. While the K-State and Ohio State visits are unofficial trips, he told Sherman that the visit to Oklahoma State might be an official one.

Zane Flores a hot QB target

Zane Flores, who is 6-foot-4 and 195 pounds, has seen his stock shoot through the roof in the spring.

Flores has been Gretna’s starting quarterback since his freshman year. He is the first known freshman to start varsity for the Dragons in school history. Gretna was the 2021 Nebraska Class A state champion led by Flores, as they took down Omaha Westside in the finals. As a junior, Flores threw for 2,885 yards and 26 touchdowns.

Flores has offers from K-State, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Pittsburgh, Memphis, Washington, Bowling Green, Kansas and continues to get heavy interest from Missouri and Ohio State.

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, K-State is leading in Flores’ recruitment. The On3 RPM says the Wildcats have a 49.2% chance of landing Flores. It should be noted that the Wildcats are also heavily courting On3 Consensus four-star in-state quarterback Avery Johnson. Joe Roll, Flores’ teammate and a wide receiver at Gretna, is expected to accompany him on the visit to K-State, Sherman reported.

Flores ranked highly by On3

Zane Flores is the No. 635 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Moreover, On3 rates him as the No. 20 quarterback in the class. Lincoln (Neb.) Lincoln East four-star athlete Malachi Coleman is the lone recruit from Nebraska ranked ahead of him by On3.

The On3 Industry Comparison shows On3 views Flores the best among the major media recruiting companies.

Furthermore, his current On3 NIL Valuation is $18.8k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
