Oklahoma State is known for under-the-radar recruits, but a 3-star commitment in the 2023 class is turning heads at the Elite 11 camp. Zane Flores committed to Oklahoma State in mid-April and later was invited to the Elite 11 camp. Since then the high-3-star has slowly impressed and will likely see a rating boost by the major recruiting sites like 247 and on3.
Flores has impressed throughout the two-day camp but caught scouts’ eye on day two. The Nebraska QB was ranked in the top 11 for two-continuous days by 247Sports. His name has been amongst several of the highest-rated quarterbacks in the class, posturing himself as a high 4-star to low 5-star. Flores’ physical upside and his polished deep ball have been the most significant impression so far

What the rest of the Elite 11 looks like for the Cowboy commit
Flores’ name is sticking up with the best quarterbacks out of high school and Ok. State appears to have snagged one of the biggest steals of the class. A 7-on-7 scrimmage will cap off the event later this evening. Flores will have one last chance to impress the rankings. Expect to see his name with the 4-stars to 5-stars after the camp concludes.
“It’s been pretty wild,” Flores told 247Sports. “Growing up watching these videos of the pro day, I was excited to get in here and compete against these guys.”
The camp invites 20 of the best arms in high school who competed in regionals for a bid to the event. Upon the conclusion of the finals the “Elite 11” are named, which tends to come with significant attention. Notable alumni and winners of the Elite 11 include; Trevor Lawerence, Matthew Stafford, Andrew Luck, and Tim Tebow. The Cowboys quarterback is currently on the edge of being one of the 11 quarterbacks to join the elusive club.
“Yeah, I wanted to play for Nebraska, but I think as I kept playing, matured a little bit more, I realized there’s a ton of options out there. I really got to pick what’s best for me. At the end of the process, it was Oklahoma State,” Flores continued with 247.
With the additional attention that will come along with Flores’ performance, it is certainly exciting for Oklahoma State fans to know they have a steal already committed to the program. The 3-star quarterback has showcased his 5-star talent and Stillwater’s anticipation will continue to grow. Regardless of his final position in the Elite 11 rankings, it is certain Zane Flores has made an impression on scouts.
