Jeremiah Smith, the standout wide receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes, is gearing up for his junior season and has made it clear that anything less than a national title will not suffice. As the Buckeyes prepare for the upcoming fall season, Smith”s comments reflect a strong desire for championship success following their recent playoff disappointment.
Having already tasted victory in a national championship, Smith is determined to return to that pinnacle. His recent remarks serve as a reminder that the Buckeyes are not content with merely reaching the College Football Playoff. According to Smith, “It”s going to be scary. I”m gonna be on go every game. I feel like this year they took something from me and everybody gotta pay for it. I”m out for everybody.”
Head coach Ryan Day has consistently praised Smith”s talent and work ethic. After a commanding 42-3 victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Day emphasized Smith”s elite status, stating, “I don”t think it”s even close that Jeremiah Smith is the best offensive player in college football. If it”s close, I”d like to know who it is.” He elaborated on the unique challenges that come with playing receiver, highlighting Smith”s perseverance and positive attitude.
Day also noted the remarkable maturity Smith has displayed throughout his career. “All of these guys are very prideful, all of them want the ball, all of them have expectations,” Day remarked. “And to see the unselfishness each week of a bunch of guys that just want to win, like that”s winning football in a day and age that there”s a lot that”s going on.”
As the Buckeyes enter the off-season, maintaining this relentless, workhorse mentality will be crucial for their offensive success. With Smith leading the charge, Ohio State is poised for an exciting season ahead, and fans will be eager to see if they can reclaim their spot at the top of college football.
With aspirations set high, Smith”s aggressive mindset is a harbinger of the challenges that lie ahead for the rest of the Big Ten. The upcoming season promises to be thrilling as the Buckeyes strive to fulfill their championship ambitions.
