Five-star 2024 cornerback Charles Lester III's coach said Ryan Day stopping at his high school shows a lot about Ohio State’s interest in the highly-touted prospect.
Lester III has reciprocated Ohio State’s interest, taking an unofficial visit to OSU on Sept. 24 for the Wisconsin game. Lester III is considered the 22nd-best prospect nationally and the third-ranked cornerback in the 2024 class in 247Sports’ composite rankings.
Q: Obviously Charles has blown up in the recruiting scene and has offers from nearly every prestigious program in America. How cool has that been for you to see him turn into such a highly-regarded prospect nationally?: It’s really exciting. Especially since my mom taught him when he was in elementary school, so I’ve known him for a long time. To see such an incredible young man have such an honor to be recruited by all these programs, it feels great because he does everything the right way.
Q: He also visited Ohio State on Sept. 24 for the Buckeyes’ game against Wisconsin. What did he tell you about his visit and what were his main takeaways from seeing a game at Ohio Stadium?: He said it was awesome and different than a lot of places he’s been at. The energy and environment were great and he said the fans were crazy and loud. He was really impressed by the whole atmosphere when he got there and when he left.
We had a play in our last game where you could see why he’s a little different. He was playing banged up with a thigh bruise and wasn’t running really well. A guy got behind him, and you were just like ‘Oh man.’ By the time the ball got there, he just ran it down, snatched the ball out of the air and returned it for about 45 yards and gave us good field position. He can do it all and is comfortable playing zone or man.
