Raiola and Smith were both Buckeye commits for three days before Raiola's decommitment on Dec. 17, 2022. They both represent On3's Nos. 1 and 2 players in the class of 2024, respectively.

Smith told BuckeyesNow in March that the top schools still recruiting him are Georgia, Miami, and USC and that he isn't "going to cut nobody off."

"They're top schools still because you never know what could happen at Ohio State," Smith said. "Coach Hartline gets fired, coaching changes, coach Hartline might get a job offer in the NFL, he might take it, so I got to keep that relationship open with all the coaches."
