"Holding the guy allows time for my brothers to go down and score," he said. It's no wonder playing right offensive tackle has given Flores satisfaction and joy even if he's in anonymity much of the game.
"Offensive linemen are among the most intelligent people on a football field, and he's among the upper echelon," JSerra coach Victor Santa Cruz said. He stands above the crowd.
Blocking involves technique, but Flores said mental toughness is just as important and is a big part of his growth as a football player.
