Ohio State is in a great spot heading into the 2025 season with their roster. The Buckeyes will again reload to be in the mix to compete for it all.
Having the best player on either side of college football helps and the Buckeyes have that with S Caleb Downs and WR Jeremiah Smith. Ohio State will have one more season of Downs and two more seasons with Smith.
Former Ohio State star and legend Cris Carter pointed out how Smith is a special player on “Up and Adams” show with Kay Adams. However, one point stood out from Carter.
"I mean he is a special, special player, and he is a generational player, and he's been that good, and he has that work ethic that we like. He's not a diva,” Carter said. “He's like a tight end, running back, or linebacker. He has that type of mindset. This kid has got it, he's special."
Oftentimes we see wide receivers get the “diva” mindset. Many times that doesn’t come out until the NFL, but the signs are there in college. That doesn’t exist with Smith, who is rather quiet and humble for the most part. Smith came into college as the No. 1 high school player and has been a star from his first college game.
As a freshman at Ohio State, Smith made 76 catches for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns. The former five-star recruit had five touchdowns in the College Football Playoff run for the Buckeyes and four came in the first two games against Tennessee and Oregon.
Smith is expected to put up monstrous numbers again in the fall as the top wide receiver in the country. Ohio State’s offense will operate with a new quarterback, likely Julian Sayin, who will benefit from having Smith to throw to.
Many special receivers have come through Columbus, especially as of late under Brian Hartline’s coaching. None of them have been as impressive as Smith this early on. That reason alone has sky-high expectations on the 6-foot-3 wideout, who does it all the right way.
