‘Throw it to 4’ – LeBron James picks Buckeyes phenom for the 2027 Heisman Trophy

Ohio State’s electrifying wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has already cemented himself as the frontrunner for the 2027 Heisman Trophy after a dominant Week 6 performance against Maryland. The Buckeyes’ 45-16 victory showcased Smith’s explosive playmaking, as he hauled in four catches for 93 yards and two touchdowns, including a standout 40-yard scoring strike.

Through six games, Smith leads the nation in receiving yards (916) and touchdowns (11), averaging a staggering 152.7 yards per contest while maintaining elite efficiency. His breakout season has drawn praise from none other than LeBron James, who took to social media to declare Smith the presumptive Heisman winner with a simple yet telling directive: *“Throw it to 4!!

#Heisman.”*
