No Ohio State wide receiver has started their career the way Smith has. Plenty have flashed and even come on late to end up making impact plays in games as important as the Michigan game. But Smith — the kid who had Day ready to faint on Signing Day — didn’t need a buildup.

Jeremiah Smith broke Cris Carter's Ohio State record for touchdown receptions by a true freshman during the Buckeyes' rout of Purdue on Saturday.

This spring, the Arizona Cardinals selected Harrison with the No. 4 pick, making him the highest-drafted receiver in Ohio State history. But Smith-Njigba says he believes Smith could ultimately go higher than any of them -- though he won't be eligible until the 2027 draft.
