Jeremiah Smith is ripping up the record books at Ohio State, making the Heisman Trophy race far more interesting than anyone anticipated. This dude is putting up historic numbers, and honestly, he shows no signs of slowing down.
Unstoppable Force on the Field
We’re talking over 400 receiving yards in just the last three weeks alone. Think about that for a second. And get this: Smith has scored a receiving touchdown in all but one game so far this season. His route running is just impeccable, and nobody, and I mean nobody, can seem to cover the guy. He is literally rewriting the Ohio State record book, now holding the career marks for receiving yards, receptions, and receiving touchdowns.
This season has been straight fire. Smith has 44 receptions for 823 yards and 9 touchdowns. Yeah, you read that right, those are all firsts in the entire country! Even in the Buckeyes’ tough loss to Texas, he still went off for 8 receptions, 164 yards, and a touchdown. He just cannot be stopped. This past Saturday against Maryland, he finished with 4 receptions for 93 yards and tacked on two more touchdowns. He can run every single route in the tree and often leaves defenses completely scrambling. You double-team him? Triple-team him? He still finds a way to get the ball. Ohio State has never, ever had a receiver like this. It’s a show no one wants to miss until he heads to the draft.
Coach Day Says It Best
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day can barely contain himself when talking about his star wideout. He straight-up said, “If it’s one-on-one, he’s open. If he’s double covered, he’s sort of open. If he’s triple-covered, he’s covered, so that means somebody’s got to be open somewhere else. I say that half-kidding.” But you can tell he’s not really kidding at all. No one can cover Jeremiah Smith. His competitor, Malachi Toney, hasn’t put up quite the same numbers, but his team, the Canes, did have a bye week.
Ohio State, only two years removed from being national champions, is clearly looking to get back to glory. They’ve got a massive Big Ten championship rematch coming up next week against No. 7 Indiana. That game kicks off at Noon ET, and you know Smith will be looking to make more history.
