Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, Va.) defensive end has otherworldly talent.
Heading into The Opening, it was no secret that
Josh Sweat was special.
The
Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, Va.) senior defensive end is known for his special blend of size and athleticism, and is a big reason why Oscar Smith debuted at No. 24 in the

After today's performance at Nike's The Opening, accolades for Sweat will only continue to roll in.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pounder clocked a time of 4.46 seconds in the 40, faster than many offensive skill players.
That's also a faster time than former No. 1 recruit
Jadeveon Clowney, who was only slightly larger than Sweat when he was a senior at
South Pointe (Rock Hill, S.C.).
According to 247Sports, Sweat is the No. 2 overall recruit
in the 247Sports Composite Rankings. His
Crystal Ball indicates Virginia Tech, Florida State, Ohio State and Tennessee are all in the mix to land him.
