Jeremiah Smith did it again! The man tied Chris Olave for Ohio State’s career touchdown record with 36 scores, and he’s not even done making history tonight. This dude, who already holds the career receiving yards record with an absurd 3,286, just took another massive step towards Ohio State immortality.

Smith’s Record-Tying Grab Against Iowa

It went down against Iowa, right before halftime. The Buckeyes had just forced a punt with under two minutes on the clock, then marched right down the field. With only 12 seconds left, Julian Sayin found Smith at the goal line. Smith stretched that ball out, broke the plane, and boom, touchdown! That was his eighth touchdown this season, but way bigger, it put him right there with Olave for the all-time career mark.

Another Record On The Horizon

And get this: Smith isn’t finished. Coming into this game against the Hawkeyes, he was only 10 receptions away from becoming Ohio State’s all-time leader in catches. He’s already hauled in six more receptions in the first half of this game, meaning he’s now just four catches away from that record too! We could literally see multiple records fall in Iowa City today. Ohio State is up 17-6 over the Hawkeyes as they head into the second half, and Smith is clearly still cooking.

What’s next for this guy? More history, that’s what. Keep your eyes peeled as the second half kicks off, because Jeremiah Smith is playing like he wants every single Ohio State receiving record to himself. It’s awesome to watch.
