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

  • Said he felt bad for making the Illinois defender miss like that on his second touchdown — said he started laughing when it happened.

‘I feel bad for him’ – Jeremiah Smith pulled no punches after Ohio State’s win over Illinois​

Ohio State star Jeremiah Smith had to troll an Illinois defender following the Buckeyes’ first Big Ten win.

Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith sent a firm reminder to the rest of the country why he is a top player in college football.

The Buckeyes rolled to a 42-19 Big Ten win over Illinois in Week 4, and it was a masterful day for Ohio State’s passing game, led by top target Smith, who had 12 catches for 217 yards and four touchdowns.

Smith’s second touchdown was a 72-yard score where he made a defender look quite silly on his way to the end zone. The junior wideout had quite the admission after the game, having some fun with the play himself.

“I can say I feel bad for him. Uh, when I did that, I just started laughing when I did it. So yeah, I feel kind of bad for him,” Smith said.

Illinois’ defenders probably aren’t going to take kindly to that comment, but there’s not much you can do when you’re made to look like that on national television.


Jeremiah Smith has leveled up his game in a major way for the Buckeyes ​

That touchdown was a signature play from Smith, who has leveled up his game this season for the Buckeyes. He’s a player doing a lot more damage after the catch now, and it’s turned his game up to another level. He can still cut off sharp routes and make defenders look silly, as well.
