USC offers 4-star cornerback Charles Lester III

Sarasota (Fla.) Riverview four-star cornerback Charles Lester III has picked up an offer from USC.

He is the No. 18 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Lester is the third-ranked cornerback in the class after Chesapeake (Va.) IMG Academy five-star cornerback Desmond Ricks and New Haven (Conn.) IMG Academy four-star cornerback Ellis Robinson IV.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $116k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
