Charles Lester a top performer at OT7
National Recruiting Analyst6/13/22Lester had an argument to make starting seven on offense or defense, but the elite 2024 athlete from Sarasota (Fla.) Riverview was certainly in the conversation as one of the best defensive backs in attendance in a loaded field. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Lester glides up and down the field in coverage with ease and is able to consistently stick with receivers. For 24K, Lester saw action playing receiver, where the speed, athleticism and natural playmaking abilities were readily on display.
