Ohio State freshman phenom impresses during first day of camp

At this point, most Ohio State football fans are probably sick of hearing about true freshman phenom, Jeremiah Smith, but fans need to buckle up, because the hype train isn’t slowing down. Big things are expected of the five star Florida product and he continued the momentum from his impressive spring over to the summer.

The Buckeyes kicked off their first day of camp on Thursday and Smith made another highlight reel play as he caught a deep pass form Will Howard over sophomore cornerback, Calvin Simpson-Hunt. Despite the ball being out of range for most receivers, Smith displayed the length and athleticism to go up and get the less than ideal throw and then got into the endzone.

Ryan Day had mentioned the young star saying, “he had a great offseason. He did some things that freshmen haven’t done before in terms of recognition.” It feels safe to say Smith will be a major part of this offense.
