Jeremiah Smith: From Alabama Dream to Ohio State Star

Published July 29, 2026 · Updated July 30, 2026 · Fox Sports

Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith says he had Alabama as his first choice but was not recruited, leading him to sign early with the Buckeyes. The All‑American, who won a national title and a Biletnickoff nod in two seasons, is returning for a third year.

Jeremiah Smith grew up dreaming of playing for Alabama under Nick Saban, but the Crimson Tide never recruited him. He committed early to Ohio State, a move that cost him the chance to join a Saban program but opened a path to national success. Smith quickly became one of college football’s top receivers. wlop.pl

After leading the Big Ten in receiving yards (1,243) and earning Freshman of the Year and Receiver of the Year honors, Smith captured a national championship and a Biletnickoff Award finalist spot. He will return for a third season under coach Ryan Day, facing Ball State on September 5.
