WR Jeremiah Smith (All B1G, B1G Freshman of Year, B1G WR of Year, Unanimous All-American, 2025 Rose Bowl Off MVP, National Champion)

He made about 5 must have catches that year. I was in high-school during that season, and thats when I started to go grey. That season will never be topped.

No season will ever get even close to that. The champ game was the single most satisfying W I've ever witnessed or will ever witness

The Ohio State football program produces great receivers every year. More than any other program, the Buckeyes produce stars year after year at that position. In fact, they have now produced a first-round receiver in each of the last five seasons after Carnell Tate was taken fourth overall in April.

That will increase to six years next season once Jeremiah Smith is drafted. They have become the standard program against which all others are judged. Now, even current players at other programs are looking to emulate former Ohio State receivers because of how good they were.

Malachi Toney tries to emulate his game after former Ohio State receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba

While speaking on The Journey, Toney revealed that he is trying to model his game after Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Njigba was one of the best players for the Buckeyes before he went to the NFL. Toney believes that he has a lot of similarities to what JSN has to offer.

TE Nate Roberts (Official Thread)

The rare tight end capable of doing everything

Roberts arrived in Columbus as one of the nation’s premier tight end recruits. The Oklahoma native finished his high school career with 42 receptions for 848 yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior, averaging more than 20 yards per catch while showcasing the athleticism that made him one of the top tight ends in the 2025 recruiting class. At 6-foot-5 and roughly 240 pounds, he possessed the frame of a traditional inline tight end, but his movement skills immediately separated him from many players at the position.

Ohio State saw more than a receiving threat. They saw versatility. Even as a true freshman, Roberts appeared in all 13 games and was trusted with responsibilities that extended well beyond running routes. He finished the season with four receptions for 30 yards, but those numbers barely scratched the surface of his role. The Buckeyes lined him up in line, used him as an H-back, motioned him across formations, asked him to split-zone block, and even handed him the football twice. For a freshman tight end, earning that level of trust is highly uncommon.

That early usage matters because tight end remains one of the most difficult positions to play in Ryan Day’s offense. Blocking assignments change every week. Route responsibilities change every series. Protection calls require communication with the offensive line. Freshmen rarely handle all of those responsibilities unless coaches believe they are capable of becoming complete players, and Ohio State clearly believed Roberts could. Now comes the next step.
