Ohio State Legend Claims Jeremiah Smith Will Never Be the GOAT Unless He Does 1 Thing

Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith has already rewritten the record books as a wide receiver, shattering the Buckeyes’ career touchdown mark in a dominant 2026 season. Yet even with his unmatched physical gifts—combining elite size, speed, and route-running—Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter argues Smith must achieve one more milestone to secure his place as Ohio State’s all-time greatest player.

Carter, who has followed the Buckeyes for half a century, insists winning the Heisman Trophy would cement Smith’s legacy, pointing to Archie Griffin’s two victories as the benchmark for individual excellence in program history. While quarterbacks dominate modern Heisman discussions, Smith’s path to the award would require a season so dominant that it transcends position expectations—something even his current record-breaking feats have not yet guaranteed.
