Grand Prairie, Texas, five-star cornerback Jeffrey Okudah cut his Top 6 in half on Twitter this evening, listing Florida State, Ohio State and Oklahoma as his final three schools.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder will announce his final decision on Jan. 7, 2016, at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas.

Okudah — the top-rated cornerback and the No. 7 prospect overall in the Class of 2017 — took an official visit to Oklahoma earlier this season, where he watched the Buckeyes beat the Sooners, 45-24.

He also attended Florida State's Oct. 29 loss to Clemson before wrapping up the regular season in Columbus for the Buckeyes' 30-27 double overtime win over Michigan.

Ohio State already holds commitments from five-star corner Shaun Wade and four-stars Marcus Williamson of Bradenton, Florida, IMG Academy and Amir Riep of Colerain. But with the potential departure of both Marshon Lattimore and Gareon Conley, Okudah could be an immediate presence in the Buckeyes' secondary.
