Cody Bellaire from ON3 (part of their rankings team) points out that Wyatt Smith was the most dominant player on the field in yet another national game when St Thomas Aquinas played Chaminade Madonna last Friday:

Ohio State edge rusher commit Wyatt Smith continued to build on a dominant first half of his senior season with a clutch performance in the close win. The 6-foot-6, 240-pounder has a huge impact on the game, from start to finish. Smith flashed impressive power on a run stuff, drew a holding call while making an excellent run-down play in pursuit, notched a tackle for loss and batted a pass — all in the first quarter. He later had a sack in the second quarter, winning around the edge with quick, powerful hands. Smith made the biggest individual play of the game in the fourth quarter, leaping to block Chaminade-Madonna’s game-winning field goal attempt with 1:23 remaining in the contest. The NFL legacy was credited with 11 tackles on the evening. His physical gifts and elite motor make him one of the more impactful defensive players in high school football to this point in the season. The No. 52 overall prospect in the 2027 Rivals300 continues to look like a clear ‘stock up’ prospect this fall.

Bellaire was then asked to compare Wyatt Smith to Luke Wafle:

That’s a great question. I think Wafle is a bit more physical at the point of attack. Where Smith has a bit more knifing ability. They win in different ways, but both have tremendous motors. Wafle was maybe more stout against the run and had a bit more to him when it comes to setting the edge. But in terms of getting slippery between blocks and finding ball carriers in the backfield, Smith probably wins in that area. Both very good ball players!

Aaron Rodgers (Super Bowl XLV MVP, QB Pittsburgh Steelers)

i've said for the last two years, with Rodgers on the team, you have to win the super bowl or what are you doing - this is NOT a super bowl team, so what the fuck are we doing, just wasting away a couple of good players best years instead of trying to see what Howard or Allar has - so fucking annoyed with this team

2027 OH RB Jordan Hall (Miami, OH Decommit, Verbal Offer)

Probably just me, but see several Jordan types already on tOSU roster. Plus, after losing out on the kid that went to Tennessee, thought/believed that tOSU would go for the 'big back' in next year's class. Seems that RBs get hurt the most, probably because of what the position requires. Oh well, it'll be what it'll be, so we'll see how it plays out.

Jeremiah Smith, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. and Jaylen McClain Are Pro Football Focus’ Highest-Graded Ohio State Players Against Iowa​

The Top Three​

1. WR Jeremiah Smith (89.6)​

For the second straight week, Smith had double-digit receptions and over 200 yards receiving. His grades of 88.3 in receiving and 89.6 in overall offense were the highest of any player in the nation with 10-plus receptions in Week 5.

Another nation-leading mark for Smith in Week 5 was his 206 receiving yards, making him the first Ohio State receiver to have back-to-back games with over 200 receiving yards. For the season, Smith has PFF's highest grades in the nation in offense (94.9) and receiving (94.5).

This is the fourth straight week PFF has ranked Ohio State's Heisman hopeful as a top-three player on the team.

2. DE Kenyatta Jackson Jr. (82.5)​

Jackson earned a pass-rushing grade of 90.8 against Iowa, the highest for any player in the Big Ten. The defensive end forced a fumble on a 13-yard sack on the second play of the game, backing up his words after he said the Buckeye defense would bounce back from a “terrible” performance against Illinois.

3. S Jaylen McClain (78.3)​

With a season tackling grade of 90.7, McClain leads the Big Ten and is ranked fourth in the nation in this category. He is just shy of being No. 1 in the nation, as a pair of North Texas players have the top spot with a grade of 91.0.
