THE FLORES BROTHERS · FOUNDING TEAM
Four brothers.
One new chapter.
14 years in college football.
A lifetime connected to the trenches.
For the past 14 years, at least one of us has been playing college football. This fall is the first time none of the four Flores brothers is taking the field. For our family, that is more than a change in the calendar. It is the end of one chapter—and the reason we are building the next.
Our collective football background spans the Ivy League, Group of Six (G6), Power Four (P4), and NFL. Across those different experiences, the trenches have taught us the same lessons: prepare when nobody is watching, trust the person beside you, and take pride in work that does not always make the highlights.
We are leading OL/DL Day because young offensive and defensive linemen deserve a day that belongs to them. A day to learn from coaches who understand their position, compete with people who share their passion, and feel seen for what they bring to a team.
Through Trench U and a growing community of coaches, we want to turn what football gave our family into opportunities for the next generation. Our playing chapter may be changing. Our commitment to the trenches is not.
