‘Playing at a Ridiculously High Level,’ ‘Outpacing DeVonta Smith’s Heisman Season’ — Bruce Feldman, Jon Rhoades Size Up Jeremiah Smith Before Indiana

Ohio State junior wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has sparked a wave of superlatives ahead of his team’s upcoming matchup against Indiana, with analysts and coaches alike comparing his season to the greatest college receivers in history. Smith has already amassed 48 catches for 916 yards and 11 touchdowns in six games, including a standout performance against Iowa with 11 receptions for 206 yards and two touchdowns.

His dominance has led to comparisons with legends like Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss, with one observer even suggesting he could surpass DeVonta Smith’s Heisman-winning season pace. Ohio State, currently 5-1 with a 3-0 record in the Big Ten, faces unbeaten Indiana (6-0, 3-0) this Saturday in Bloomington, adding another high-stakes test to Smith’s historic campaign.

Smith’s impact extends beyond statistics, as rival coaches have openly acknowledged Ohio State’s lead in the Big Ten, calling the Buckeyes “head and shoulders ahead” of the next-best team. His latest outing against Maryland saw four catches for 93 yards and two touchdowns, further cementing his status as a generational talent.

With six regular-season games remaining—including trips to Indiana and USC—Smith’s season continues to redefine expectations for college wide receivers, blending explosive plays with consistency at an elite level.
