Ben Smiley plans to visit Old Dominion on Saturday

Norfolk, VA –Old Dominion is expected to host several top targets as the No. 12 Virginia Tech Hokies come to town.

The Monarchs hold 19 verbal commitments entering the weekend.

The headliner of the recruiting class, 247Sports Composite three-star Venice (FL) quarterback Hayden Wolff plans to be on campus in Norfolk along with his brother, Wes, on Saturday. The older Wolff, who opted for the Monarchs over Kentucky, Tulane, and others, is considered the No. 34 Pro Style Quarterback prospect nationally.

The Monarchs extended a scholarship offer to his brother on Friday.

Old Dominion will also host committed tight end Isaac Abel, defensive end Jorell Baum, linebacker Joshua Bursall, wide receiver Braxton Collins, defensive tackle KJ Dameron, linebacker Taner Davis, safety Terry Jones Jr, offensive lineman Teagan McDonald, and others.

The Monarchs will also host 247Sports Composite three-star defensive tackle Ben Smiley, who is considered the No. 28 defensive tackle prospect nationally in the 2019 recruiting class, along with former pledge Javon Harvey and local standout CaSaan Dixon.

Three-star running back Billy Lucas (Erie, PA) plans to visit Old Dominion on Saturday. The No. 119 running back prospect nationally holds offers from Bowling Green and Old Dominion.

Elite 2020 prospect KeAndre Lambert also plans to be on campus with teammate Deshaun Peele, as does Lamareon James and Malcolm Britt, all local targets in the junior class.

No recruit on Saturday will be ranked higher than 2021 cornerback Tony Grimes out of Virginia Beach. The 6-foot, 180-pounder is considered the No. 12 overall prospect in the nation for the 2021 recruiting class and is the No. 1 cornerback prospect nationally.

Old Dominion will also host Class of 2022 offensive/defensive lineman Paul Hutson III, who recently received his first scholarship offer from Virginia Tech.
