Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith didn’t waste any time making history on Saturday afternoon against No. 5 Indiana. His incredible 38-yard touchdown grab not only helped push the Buckeyes past the Hoosiers, it propelled him into an elite club, officially tying Michigan legend Braylon Edwards for the most career receiving touchdowns in Big Ten history. Yeah, you read that right. The dude is absolutely rewriting the record books in college football.
Smith’s Latest Masterpiece: A 38-Yard Big Ten Stunner
This wasn’t just some ordinary score; Smith brought out the highlight reel. Quarterback Julian Sayin tossed an unruly ball downfield, but Smith, with his hulking frame, tracked it perfectly. He raced to the end zone, then leaped high to corral that pass for a ridiculous 38-yard touchdown. It was the kind of play that makes you jump out of your seat, pure athleticism and focus on display. This guy is on an absolute assault on the college football record books, and every single score feels like a statement.
Faster Than a Legend: Smith’s Unstoppable Climb
Here’s where it gets wild. Smith didn’t just tie Braylon Edwards for the most receiving touchdowns in Big Ten history. He did it in just 35 games. Think about that for a second. Edwards, a former Heisman vote recipient and All-American in 2004, needed 44 games to reach that same mark. That’s a nine-game difference, proving just how dominant Smith has been since stepping onto the field. He’s not just matching legends; he’s doing it at a pace nobody has ever seen. The talent level is just off the charts.
Looking at the all-time list, Smith’s 39 touchdowns put him right there at the top. He’s ahead of guys like James Hardy (36 TDs), Chris Olave (35 TDs), and Anthony Carter (33 TDs). Marvin Harrison Jr. even sits at 31 career touchdowns. The fact that Smith is already at 39, and still playing, just screams future dominance. As long as Smith can keep a clean bill of health for the rest of the year, there’s no doubt he’s going to blow past Edwards and take the title as the conference’s greatest-ever touchdown grabber. You’ll want to keep an eye on every single Buckeyes game from here on out; history is literally happening right before our eyes.
