Katie Smith will ring the Victory Bell before Ohio State’s second home football game of the 2026 season.
Ohio State announced Tuesday that Smith, one of the greatest players in OSU women’s basketball history and a current assistant coach for Kevin McGuff’s team, will be the pregame Victory Bell ringer for Saturday’s game against Kent State.
Smith will be the first woman to ring the Victory Bell before an Ohio State football game, a tradition that started last season.
A two-time All-American and three-time Big Ten Player of the Year, Smith led Ohio State to a Big Ten championship and national championship game appearance as a freshman and scored 2,578 points in four seasons as a Buckeye (1992-96), a program record at the time. She went on to become a seven-time WNBA All-Star and two-time WNBA champion, also winning WNBA Finals MVP honors with the Detroit Shock in 2008.
The first female athlete in Ohio State history to have her number retired, Smith was inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001. She was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018.
Smith is now entering her third year as an assistant coach for the Buckeyes after previously coaching for a decade in the WNBA.

2027 LA RB Jayden Miles (Florida St. Verbal)

Script really likes that site, which uses aggregation to troll. It's like an AI poor man's imitation of Dave portnoy.
Getting Miles would be very helpful to round out the recruiting class, which started with so much promise.


While Ohio State has a couple of five-star recruits in this class, they could have had a couple more. Missing out on Gabriel Georges as well as Monshun Sales took some of the shine off this class.
ah yes, who can forget how thin the wr recruiting is

Absolutely zero chance that if OSU lands this kid, this troll site fails to use it to get more digs in regarding DGG.

I appreciate the sentiment. Thanks for cheerleading us, Coach.

He tried to Sark so hard and we let him get away with it. Stopping either of those 4th and longs would have probably been balllgame.

Just sayin': Some of the better Duke players have been know to get in the transfer portal. If this guy is in it after this season Ohio State should give him "a good look." After this season he will have 3 more years of eligibility and he should only get better too.

Remember: Coaches say "you can never have too many running backs" because the position is physical, fragile, and prone to rapid attrition during a long season.
