A NEW MISSION FOR NO. 4. Jeremiah Smith can beat the nation’s best cornerbacks one-on-one, but can he become an outspoken, verbal leader in the wide receiver room? That’s the question Ohio State offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline wants Smith to answer this offseason.

“Originally as a leader, he’s a by-example kind of young man,” Hartline said. “He’s not gonna say a whole lot, at least in years past. I would say growing would be that way. He’s being a little more outspoken. I think he’s speaking more in the receiver room. Even conversations that we have, I definitely feel more and more intellect and football IQ and all that has been growing.”

Hartline wants (needs?) that to be Smith.

“He’s a little more outspoken than he was when he first walked in – since when he walked in, it was zero. It’s definitely a little more than that. He’s doing a good job of always leading by example, but we’re all trying to get him out of his comfort zone and see if he can make an impact on some of his peers from a communication standpoint.”

Skull Session: Marvin Harrison Jr. Calls Jeremiah Smith the “LeBron James of Football,” Michael Irvin Claims Ohio State “Cheated” Miami Out of a Title and Ryan Day Thinks Will Howard Has “Aura”

“HE'S LEBRON JAMES OF FOOTBALL.” Marvin Harrison Jr. knew Jeremiah Smith would be a freshman phenom at Ohio State.

“I watch football. I’ll watch receivers, and it’s like, ‘He’s good. He’s great.’ I could have told you this was gonna happen a long (time ago) – just from watching highlights,” Harrison said in an appearance on THE Podcast.

Harrison then made a monumental comparison for Smith, the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2024 class who led the Buckeyes with 76 catches for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns in his first season.

“I feel like people, and I hate to put pressure on him, so I don’t want to say it – I think he’s LeBron James of football,” Harrison said. “He’s built differently than everybody else. He’s athletically gifted. The mindset he has as a football player, it’s really special to see. The talent is out the roof, who he is as a person, his character, there is no limit for him. He can do whatever he wants to do. Every record there is at Ohio State, he’s gonna have it. There’s nothing he’s going to leave college not having done.”

When asked how it feels that Smith has become the standard among Ohio State receivers and college football receivers writ large, Harrison smiled, knowing he used to hold the same title.

“He should be the standard,” Harrison said.

“Already?” Austin Ward interrupted.

“Yes,” Harrison continued. “Like I said, I watch football. I can tell when some things are different. He’s the standard.”

It seemed like every student at Ohio State’s Student Appreciation Day wanted a photo or an autograph from Jeremiah Smith.

When Saturday’s practice at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center concluded and students were allowed to go onto the field to interact with the Buckeye players, a bevy of students immediately ran toward Smith, creating a massive crowd around Ohio State’s star wide receiver before he even finished stretching.

CFB's best receivers for 2025: Who lines up after the clear No. 1?

It's no surprise that Jeremiah Smith tops our list, but after that, the voting was wide open.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Ranking the best receivers in college football for 2025​

1. Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State​

Points: 100 (10 of 10 first-place votes)

2024 stats: 76 receptions, 1,315 yards, 17.3-yard average, 16 TDs (1 rushing)

Rarely do incoming freshmen generate as much hype as Smith did, and then actually exceed it. He didn't win the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top wide receiver, but good luck finding a coach who would prefer anyone over the Buckeyes star. He had three or more receptions in all but one game and reached the end zone in 12 of Ohio State's 16 contests.

After earning Big Ten freshman and receiver of the year honors, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Smith will enter his second season as a bona fide Heisman Trophy contender, and could be by far the best player at his position for two more years before he's eligible for the NFL draft. It's a rare spot for such a young player to occupy, but Smith is a rare talent.
