Jeremiah Smith just pulled off something absolutely insane at Ohio State, smashing the school’s all-time records for touchdown catches, total receptions, AND padding his record for most receiving yards. Yeah, he basically just earned himself the wide receiver “triple crown” in college football. Against No. 14 Iowa this past Saturday, Smith went off, pulling in 11 catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns, leading the No. 5 Buckeyes to a dominant 31-14 win.
Smith Blows Past Buckeye Legends, Including Our Own JSN
You know how Ohio State is called “Wide Receiver U,” right? We’re talking legends like Cris Carter, David Boston, Chris Olave, Emeka Egbuka, Garrett Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr., and even our own Jaxon Smith-Njigba came out of there. But get this: Jeremiah Smith just surpassed every single one of them in the history books. With just over six minutes left in the third quarter, Smith broke loose for a ridiculous 57-yard touchdown grab. And you know what he did after breaking the plane? Hit the freakin’ Heisman pose! That was his 36th career touchdown catch, officially one more than Chris Olave’s previous record. The dude is playing on another level.
Heisman Hype Is Real After Record-Setting Day
Just four minutes later, Smith hooked up with QB Julian Sayin on a short route for his tenth catch of the game. That tenth catch? That’s what pushed him past Emeka Egbuka for the most receptions all-time at Ohio State. Think about that: two massive, all-time records, broken in the same quarter. This dude is only five games into the 2026 season and has played 34 games as a Buckeye, yet he’s already racked up career records in receiving yards, receptions, and receiving touchdowns. After a day like that against Iowa, it’s no shocker that Smith is now the +105 heavy favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. Seriously, a receiver favorite for the Heisman this early? This is real.
So, what’s next? Well, we’re watching a potential Heisman winner light up college football. Jeremiah Smith isn’t just making plays; he’s rewriting history and making a serious case for the biggest individual award in the game. You gotta keep an eye on this kid, Emerald City. This could be something special.
