Ohio State Buckeyes Coach Ryan Day Raves About Early Performance of Jeremiah Smith
Jeremiah Smith is rapidly gaining attention with the Ohio State Buckeyes. Despite his recent arrival in Columbus as a freshman receiver, he has already left a strong impression on Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day and his staff. Day has even hinted that Smith could secure a starting position for the season opener against the Akron Zips in late August if he continues to progress as he has been.
With a promising start, Smith, a highly-rated recruit from Hollywood, Florida, is set to kick off his college career this season. He has garnered praise from veteran teammates such as senior receiver Emeka Egbuka, senior quarterback Will Howard, and senior defensive back Denzel Burke.
Smith’s arrival fills a crucial gap for the Buckeyes, who lost key receiving options since the previous season. The departure of Julian Fleming to Penn State and Marvin Harrison Jr.’s absence in the Cotton Bowl as he prepared for the NFL Draft created openings that Smith is poised to fill.
While Coach Day has been discreet about revealing his starting lineup, he has emphasized Smith’s potential to become a significant contributor to Ohio State’s passing game. Day expressed excitement about Smith’s progress and future prospects, indicating that he anticipates Smith’s role to grow substantially within the team.
