Four-star safety Joenel Aguero of Danvers (Mass.) St. John’s Prep has narrowed his list to seven schools— Ohio State, LSU, Miami, Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

The 6-foot, 206 pounder is ranked as the No. 36 player in the 2023 class according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting services. He ranks as the No. 3 safety and the top ranked player in Massachusetts.

Aguero spoke with On3 about each of the finalists.

Ohio State

“I like everything about Ohio State,” Aguero said. “They have been one of my favorite schools since they offered me. Also, I have a great relationship with the new staff.”

LSU

“Me and Brian Kelly are really close to each other and he went to the highschool that I’m going to now,” Aguero said. “He’s been recruiting me hard.”

Miami 

“Miami has definitely been on me since the jump and especially with their new staff they want me badly,” Aguero said. “It’s a place where I think I can make a big impact, and my guy coach Addae is now there which makes everything better.”

Texas A&M

“Jimbo Fisher is building something great at Texas A&M,” Aguero said. “I think they will win a national championship in the next 2 years.”

Alabama

“I love the way Nick Saban develops his defensive backs and his ability to put them in the NFL,” Aguero said. “Also, now that T Rob is there they have really been on me.”

Georgia

“Georgia has been on me since the day they offered me and nothing has changed for them,” Aguero said. “I feel like that’s a place where I can go in and make a big impact and help the program win.”

Florida

“Florida has always been a school that I was interested in,” Aguero said. “Now that they got new coaches, I feel like they have the ability to change the program back around and with Corey Raymond being there, I know he can develop me well.”
