Well, that didn’t take long. Less than 24 hours after receiving an offer from Ohio State, 3-star defensive back Davonta Smith has pledged his commitment to the 2021 class — making the third defensive back in what is sizing up to be one whale of a recruiting haul.
Out of LaSalle High School in Cincinnati, the 6-0, 185 pounder is currently rated as the No. 31 rated cornerback in the class and No. 14 rated prospect in the state of Ohio.
He’ll join 4-star Jakailin (J.K.) Johnson and Jaylen Johnson (also out of Cincinnati) as guys Ohio State hopes add depth in the back-end in the upcoming years.
Smith makes the twelfth commitment for Ohio State in the class — one that currently ranks as the No. 1 overall class in the entire country according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
