Ohio State freshman Jeremiah Smith impresses with 119 yards and a touchdown against Western Michigan, earning high praise from LeBron James for his dynamic play.
Bollywood Fever: Ohio State freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith is already making waves in college football.
After a stellar debut last week against Akron, where he caught six passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns, Smith followed it up with another standout performance against Western Michigan.
He recorded five receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown through the first three quarters of the Buckeyes’ 52-6 victory at Ohio Stadium.
The 6-foot-3, five-star wideout was the consensus No. 1-ranked recruit in the class of 2024, and he’s quickly proving why.
Smith’s explosive playmaking abilities have not gone unnoticed, especially by Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
A lifelong Ohio State fan, James took to Instagram Saturday night to rave about the Buckeyes’ rising star.
LeBron James, who has been a vocal supporter of Smith since last year, also expressed his excitement about the young receiver in a tweet last November after watching Smith’s highlight video.
Former Notre Dame quarterback and Fox Sports analyst Brady Quinn even compared Smith’s dominance on the field to that of LeBron James, noting the similarities in their imposing physical presence and athletic prowess.
With two strong performances to start his college career, Jeremiah Smith is already living up to the hype and establishing himself as one of the most exciting young players in college football.
