Four-star 2024 Defensive End Nigel Smith Loves Ohio State's Defensive Scheme and Five-star 2024 CB Charles Lester III Will Visit OSU This Weekend

One of Ohio State’s highest priority 2024 defensive end targets has taken his fair share of trips to Columbus.

Four-star Texas prospect Nigel Smith’s visit to Ohio State on Sept. 3 for the season opener marked the fourth time he had been to OSU’s campus as a recruit, as he continues to build a strong bond with the Buckeyes’ coaching staff and defensive line coach Larry Johnson.

“The atmosphere was awesome and the stadium was packed and loud the whole game,” Smith told Eleven Warriors. “(My visit) was different because this time I got to see a big-time game and what that atmosphere is like in Columbus on game day.
