CLEVELAND, Ohio – Before making a college decision, Glenville defensive back Erick Smith envisions taking all of his official visits alongside teammate Marshon Lattimore, who said he’d like to take trips to Alabama, Michigan, Oregon, Ohio State and USC.
There’s only one problem.
“I don’t have an Oregon offer,” Smith quipped during an in-person interview with Cleveland.com on Wednesday.
That could be a problem for the Ducks if they want to land the four-star Lattimore considering the three Tarblooders – Lattimore, Smith and offensive lineman Marcelys Jones – plan to all commit to the same college program.
A four-star prospect rated by Scout.com the No. 11 safety in the 2014 class, Smith said it wouldn’t be a deal-breaker if his teammates don’t go to the same college program, but he also didn’t downplay its importance.
“Just knowing that we have the same schools and that we can continue to play together, that’s just an amazing feeling,” Smith said. “It is really indescribable just knowing that I can play with them for the next three or for years after this year. It’s important, we are always talking about playing together.”
