Fleeks, a Baylor commit, is a four-star wide receiver who has already made a “hard commit” to the Bears. He was heavily recruited by Georgia, Houston, Illinois, Iowa State, and Ole Miss, to name some schools that wanted his talents on their field Saturday’s.
He excelled for Cedar Hill last year as only a sophomore with 663 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Coming into his seniro season, he is expected to improve on those stats and lead this squad back to the post season.
The nomination to the U.S. Army All American game is huge for this young man. As the game has seen a number of former Heisman Trophy and legendary NFL players that have showcased their talents in it.

Just some of these alumni include: Odell Beckham Jr., Derrick Henry, Andrew Luck, Adrian Peterson, Christian McCaffrey, Eric Berry, Patrick Peterson, Ezekiel Elliott, and hundreds more.” (US Army All American Bowl)
