Jeremiah Smith Scores Twice, Nears Big Ten Record

Ohio State’s reputation as a source of NFL receiving talent is the focus of a Sporting News ranking of its active pro wide receivers, highlighting players including Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Garrett Wilson and Emeka Egbuka while noting that Alabama and LSU also have strong claims to “Wide Receiver U.” The Buckeyes’ current star, Jeremiah Smith, reinforced that legacy against Maryland with two first-half touchdown catches, including a 40-yard score, and 73 receiving yards. His performance put him within one touchdown of tying the Big Ten career receiving-touchdown record, according to the game coverage.
