Rico Flores, Folsom 4-star wide receiver, trims list to Georgia, Notre Dame and Ohio State

Unquestionably, one of the top playmakers in the West region is Folsom High School (California) wide receiver Rico Flores. 

Equally certain is that the 6-foot-1, 190-pound pass-catcher will play his collegiate ball outside that region. 

On Thursday, Flores trimmed his list to a final three of Georgia, Notre Dame and Ohio State, eliminating former contenders Texas and UCLA in the process:

He also confirmed that his commitment date remains July 3.

Whoever gets Flores will be getting a major prize.

As a junior, he hauled in 81 receptions for 1,157 yards and 11 touchdowns. 

The California star has already accepted an All-American Bowl invitation and is rated the nation's No. 26 wide receiver by 247Sports. 

Here's what the site had to say, in part, about Flores as a playmaker:

"Flores is a player that has 2-ways snaps that feature this athletic ability, change of direction, agility, physicalness and toughness. He is sudden off the snap of the ball where he uses his quickness to create immediate separation from the defender. When he is being defended in off-coverage he is able to get the same separation with a knack for dropping his weight and getting out of his break quickly all the while being physical at the top of the route. Once the ball is in the air he does a nice job attacking the ball at its high point. Soft hands are something you see often when the ball is coming his way. While he isn’t a burner he brings a toughness and physical running style after the catch that adds some yac."
