Story summary
Jeremiah Smith, a wide receiver for Ohio State University, made history in their 42-19 victory over Illinois on Saturday, tying an Ohio State record with four touchdown receptions. Smith also set career highs by recording 12 catches for 217 yards and becoming only the fifth Buckeye to score four touchdowns in a single game since 2000. His performance has now made him a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy, solidifying his status as one of the top wide receivers in college football this season. Ohio State's impressive track record includes producing five consecutive first-round NFL draft picks from their wide receiver corps between 2022 and 2026, which Smith is now poised to extend with his standout play against Illinois.
