Jeremiah Smith Makes Buckeye History

Jeremiah Smith has ascended to the top of Ohio State's receiving records, establishing a new benchmark for career touchdown catches. As of October 4, 2026, Smith's 36th touchdown reception surpassed the previous record of 35 held by Chris Olave.

This remarkable achievement is part of an extraordinary junior season for Smith. He entered his junior year with 27 touchdown receptions and has added seven more through the first four games of the 2026 season, bringing his season total to nine. Smith's immediate impact as a freshman and consistent performance through his sophomore and junior years have propelled him to this historic status.

In addition to the touchdown record, Smith also recently claimed the Ohio State career receiving yards title. This string of accomplishments highlights his significant contribution to the Buckeyes' receiving tradition, placing him above legendary names like David Boston, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Devin Smith.
