USA TODAY High School Sports‘ Friday Night Notes is a weekly high school recruiting recap that looks at the latest news from around the country—from the Class of 2023 to ’24 and beyond.

This week, writer Tim Weaver takes a look at the Ohio State Buckeyes, who already lost one elite recruit in the 2024 cycle in No. 1 overall player and top-ranked quarterback Dylan Raiola, who de-committed in December and seems to be deciding between reigning two-time champion the Georgia Bulldogs and Nebraska Cornhuskers — the latter where he has family ties.

However, Ryan Day and Co. still have the class’ No. 1 wide receiver in Jeremiah Smith, but it is still a long way from signing time, and the high school junior is still evaluating his options. He has official visits set with the Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes while also considering the ‘Dawgs and Florida State Seminoles.
