5-star DB Charles Lester names top five schools
Five-star defensive back recruit Charles Lester III has named his top five schools. Lester no longer has Michigan State, Oregon, Oklahoma, Michigan and USC among his top schools.
Lester plays both wide receiver and defensive back, but is considered more of a defensive back prospect at the next level. Lester plays high school football for Riverview High School in Sarasota, Florida.
Georgia Bulldogs co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp offered the scholarship to Lester in January 2022. The lengthy cornerback has received offers from Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Michigan and Clemson among others.
The four-star defensive back has been invited to the 2024 Under Armour All-America Game.
The Riverview star is 6 feet, 2 inches, 170 pounds and is rated the No. 3 cornerback in his class and the No. 7 recruit in Florida. Lester is the No. 22 recruit in the class of 2024.
