Will Smith Jr. had already been to Ohio Stadium several times when he was younger.
But Saturday was different. It was the first time the 2023 Dublin Coffman defensive tackle/defensive end stepped foot on campus as a recruit.
“It’s just a whole different vibe,” Smith Jr. told Eleven Warriors Sunday. “Because you get to actually see and picture yourself playing for these people. You have to like picture being coached by these coaches that you meet.”
Smith Jr. talked to three Buckeyes coaches on Saturday: defensive line coach Larry Johnson, Ryan Day and linebackers coach Al Washington.
