Jeremiah Smith, a freshman wide receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes, has quickly established himself as a standout player in college football. In the 2024 season, he broke Ohio State’s freshman receiving records previously held by Cris Carter, totaling 1,037 yards on 61 catches with 12 touchdowns.
His exceptional performance in the Rose Bowl against the Oregon Ducks further solidified his reputation. Smith recorded seven receptions for 187 yards and two touchdowns, earning him the Offensive MVP title in the Buckeyes’ victory.
ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky has even speculated that NFL teams might consider “tanking” to secure Smith in the 2027 NFL Draft, comparing him to elite receivers like Julio Jones and Calvin Johnson.
Smith’s combination of size, speed, and skill has made him a formidable presence on the field, and his future in football looks exceptionally promising.
