The Hurry-Up: Ohio State capped off a busy week on the recruiting trail by extending eight more offers Friday for a total of 20 new offers this week.
Smith is ranked as the No. 19 overall prospect and the second-best defensive lineman in the 2024 class, per 247Sports’ composite rankings. He toldthat his visit to Ohio State for the Michigan State game was eye-opening.
“The visit went great,” Smith said. “We got there right as the game started, but you could hear that game from far away, it was a packed stadium. That was a great game day environment. The fans were great and obviously it was a huge win.” The next day, Smith met with defensive line coach Larry Johnson, who spent around 20 minutes breaking down Smith’s high school film with him.
“He said he wants to develop me as an edge and he sees me as that,” Smith said. “But I’ll also play a little three in pass rush sets when pass rushers are really needed, because he thinks I can pass rush from anywhere on the line.” The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Smith has nine Division I offers thus far, including LSU, Notre Dame, Ole Miss and Texas Tech.
