All eyes will be on the top-ranked recruit in the nation as he makes his college decision official on Wednesday.

Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has been verbally committed to Ohio State for over a year, but that hasn't stopped Florida State and Miami from making a late run at him. There is still uncertainty as to whether the Hollywood, Florida native will be convinced to stay home, as even his father recently told 247Sports that he won't know his son's decision until Signing Day. However, we predict that Smith will stay loyal and officially sign with the Buckeyes.

Another 5-star recruit still weighing his decision is safety KJ Bolden, who is committed to Florida State but is still considering Georgia and Auburn. We predict that the Buford, Georgia native will decide to stay home. The Bulldogs already have the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, so flipping Bolden would be a massive get for Kirby Smart and company.

As for the remaining predictions, Ohio State will land another highly-touted recruit in Eddrick Houston. Florida State will recover from losing Bolden by securing Armondo Blount. Ole Miss will land a pair of defensive linemen in William Echoles and Kamarion Franklin. Jericho Johnson will land at Oregon.
