Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith Catches 4 Passes for 123 Yards and 2 TDs in First 12 Minutes
On Saturday, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith tied the school's single-game touchdown record with 4 touchdowns, leading the seventh-ranked Buckeyes to a 42-19 victory over Illinois at Ohio Stadium.
Smith became the first player in Ohio State history to reach 3,000 career receiving yards during the game, surpassing school legends Marvin Harrison Jr. and Chris Olave on the all-time list.
Recording career highs with 12 receptions for 217 yards and 4 touchdowns, Smith joined Terry Glenn as the only Buckeyes with 200 receiving yards and 4 scores in one game.
Smith is now the Heisman Trophy favorite at +340 according to DraftKings Sportsbook, while analysts project him as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
Scouting reports project Smith as a future first-round selection, drawing comparisons to NFL All-Pro Julio Jones as he establishes himself among Ohio State's elite receiving prospects.
