During the opening weekend of the college football season, Styles visited Florida for its season opener against Florida Atlantic, then went to Florida State for its Sunday night game against Notre Dame to attend his older brother Lorenzo Styles Jr.’s first game for the Fighting Irish. Over this past weekend, Styles visited Clemson to watch the Tigers play Georgia Tech.
In between those visits, Styles made the short trip from Pickerington to Columbus to watch Ohio State’s marquee non-conference game against Oregon. And even though the Buckeyes suffered a 35-28 loss to the Ducks in that game, Styles was impressed by what he saw as more than 100,000 people packed Ohio Stadium for the Buckeyes’ first home game of the season.
Particularly, Styles enjoyed how loud it got when Ohio State was trying to mount a comeback in the fourth quarter, as well as the opportunity he had to spend time with some of the other top recruits in the 2023 class who were in Ohio Stadium that day, including another one of Ohio’s top 2023 prospects in offensive lineman Luke Montgomery and the class’ second-ranked safety prospect behind Styles, Caleb Downs.
“It was pretty crazy, I loved it,” Styles said of the atmosphere at Ohio Stadium. “That was the big thing for me and then linking up with some of them guys, being able to talk to them, I think that was the biggest thing for me.”
Just sayin': I think he is enjoying the recruiting process.
