Ohio State Superstar Jeremiah Smith Has Been Constantly Competing Since Childhood
Whether it's football games, warmup sprints or shooting garbage into a trash can, Jeremiah Smith always wants to win.
“He’s gotten bigger, stronger and faster than he was last year,” Ryan Day said at media days. “He was at workouts the other day and Mick constantly says during our warmups, he’s the first guy every time we run through and we’re warming up. The first guy. Every single time. He just sets such a standard, and you don’t need to motivate Jeremiah, and what he did as a freshman speaks for itself.”
“I know what defenses are doing this year coverage-wise,” Smith said. “I understood a couple last year, but do it better this year. I feel like I’m going to be able to play faster than I did last year. Last year, I wasn't playing as fast as I wanted to. But this year, I know exactly what's going on, and I'm going to play faster this year.”

It was bad enough running up the middle directly at tun's only strength, d tackle, but Treyveon, who had a great career and has obvious strengths, I don't you think you'd say running up the middle and banging out tough yards is one of them. That's what made Zeke so great---he could break big runs but was also great getting tough yards inside on 3rd and 3

Klatt comparing Smith to Adrian Peterson makes sense. He's the guy I thought of too. Where this guy as true freshman is immediately the best player on the team and maybe in the country. This is a random aside but he basically says Moss was better than Terrell Owens and I just firmly disagree on that. I think TO was a better all around receiver than Moss and TO is now underrated b/c people don't like him

Ohio State football player Jeremiah Smith sends scary message to other teams
The best player in college football sent a scary message to every other team in the nation.

Ohio State football player Jeremiah Smith sends terrifying message to other teams across the country
As a freshman, he wasn't entirely comfortable with the playbook yet, especially early in the year. Smith was clearly thinking less when he was in the College Football Playoff, carving up Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame. He established himself as the best player in the country then.
For Smith to say that he is going to be scary next year should be a horrifying thought for the rest of the country. He thinks that even with all of the attention that he is going to receive, he can still carve up opposing defenses. The Buckeyes are certainly hoping that's going to be the case.
Ohio State is going to need him to be great right out of the shoot against the Longhorns in the first game of the season. He wants to show that he can beat them more than he did last season, when he was held to just one catch for three yards in the Cotton Bowl.

College football Freaks List 2025: Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith tops a list of 101
The 2025 Freaks List is here. College football is close!

College football Freaks List 2025: Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith tops a list of 101
Even though I’ve been reporting the Freaks List since 2005, I am still blown away numerous times while working on this project with what I hear about some of the amazing things college football players have done or can do.I rely on the intel from coaches, schools, teammates, parents, NFL scouts, NFL Scouting Combine trainers and agents. As you can see, the hardest part of this project is keeping it to 100. To think, when I first started the list, there were only 10.
No. 1 Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State, wide receiver
The best college football player in the nation is also its biggest Freak, and he won’t turn 20 until after Thanksgiving. Smith entered college with a ton of hype and backed it up with 76 catches for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns for the national champions. He led the country with six receptions of at least 50 yards.Part of an unprecedented run in Columbus of elite wide receivers, the 6-foot-3 1/2, 223-pounder is clearly the most gifted. He’s the biggest, strongest and fastest. Smith’s testing and timing numbers are remarkable.
Asked which of his Freakish feats this summer he’s most proud of, Smith said it’s his 225 pounds on the bench for 20 reps. “I’m very proud of that,” he said. “I could probably only hit like five before I got to Ohio State. I came in weak.”
Smith’s 11-foot broad jump, 38-inch vertical jump and 23.5 mph on the GPS are jaw-dropping for a receiver his size. Could he get up to 24 mph?
“Whooo. I don’t think so,” he said. “That’s like track speed right there.”
Smith, who also squatted 550 pounds, credits the work he’s been doing with South Florida-based trainer Pearson Sutton since he was 8 for his explosiveness. “The way my trainer and my dad prepared me, working me out two, three times a day just made me bigger, faster and stronger.”
Smith changed his diet this offseason: “I was eating fast food probably every day throughout the season. It was bad.” Now, with the help of a nutritionist, he’s got a meal plan. Smith’s staying away from red meat and eating a lot of salmon, rice and broccoli. The toughest thing for him to give up was Wendy’s, which he hasn’t had since right after the national championship.
