Jeremiah Smith, a five-star wide receiver from Chaminade-Madonna Prep in Hollywood, Florida, has officially committed to Ohio State, choosing the Buckeyes over Alabama and Penn State. This marks a significant win for Ohio State’s recruiting class and adds another elite talent to their already impressive roster.
Smith is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in the 2024 recruiting class. With a rare combination of speed, size, and route-running ability, he is expected to make an immediate impact at the collegiate level. Standing at 6’3″ and weighing 185 pounds, Smith has the physical tools to be a game-changer on the field. His blend of athleticism and football IQ has made him a standout player, and his ability to stretch the field with deep routes will fit perfectly into Ohio State’s high-powered offense.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline have built a reputation for developing elite wide receivers, and Smith’s commitment adds to their growing legacy of attracting top-tier talent at the position. In recent years, Ohio State has produced several NFL-caliber receivers, and Smith has the potential to follow in their footsteps.
The decision to pick Ohio State over Alabama and Penn State underscores the program’s ability to compete at the highest level for recruits. Both of those programs have strong traditions and rosters, but Smith seems to have been drawn to Ohio State’s offensive system and the chance to play in one of college football’s most dynamic offenses. With this commitment, the Buckeyes continue to build an extremely talented and deep receiving corps, setting them up for success in the coming years.
Smith’s commitment also adds to Ohio State’s momentum in the 2024 recruiting cycle, further solidifying their place as a top contender in college football.
