Four-star DE Tyreke Smith drops star studded top list of schools

Some major surprises in here.

One of the best edge rushers in the class of 2018 has narrowed his list of potential schools from thirty-plus universities to 12.

Four-star defensive end Tyreke Smith revealed his top 12 Friday night via Twitter and it's an impressive list.

Smith's list for his top-12 schools are as followed: Texas, Alabama, Penn State, Cincinnati, Ohio State, Michigan, Kentucky, Oregon, USC, Georgia, Notre Dame, and UCLA.

The Cleveland, Oh. native lists schools from all over the country, but his home-state team, Ohio State, is still considered the leader in his recruitment, according to 247sports.

247sports Crystal Ball predictions has the Buckeyes' chances at landing Smith at 73 percent and the Nittany Lions at 27 percent. They do mention that Notre Dame and USC are still 'warm' options, too.
