Pickerington (Ohio) Central athlete Alex “Sonny” Styles announced a top five schools list last Thursday, around 14 months until National Signing Day for the 2023 class, which is an eternity in recruiting.
Styles saw value in trimming down his list. Clemson, Florida, Mississippi, Notre Dame and Ohio State made the cut for the five-star recruit and the nation’s No. overall 6 player in the 2023 cycle.
“I started to realize the schools I best see myself at,” he said. “I thought it was time for me to make my top group. I’m closer to a decision, but I’m not going to commit too early.”
Styles visited Notre Dame, a school that he’s very familiar with, on Saturday. His older brother, Lorenzo, is a freshman receiver for the Irish, who started taking visits to Notre Dame as a recruit back in 2018. Sonny was a guest on some of those trips and has seen campus a number of times.
