Lester is considered to be the No. 3 cornerback in the nation, the No. 22 overall prospect and the No. 7 player from the state of Florida according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
Ohio State is already off to a hot start in its 2024 class, earning a commitment from No. 2 overall prospect Jerimiah Smith on Dec. 14. The Buckeyes do not yet have a cornerback commit in the 2024 cycle, but do have a commitment from Garrett Stover, who is a multi-position threat being primarily recruited as a safety.
