Summary
- Smith set Ohio State records for receptions and touchdowns.
- He is one touchdown away from tying the Big Ten record.

Jeremiah Smith, a star wide receiver for Ohio State, is currently rewriting the record books for the Buckeyes. In his most recent three games, Smith has amassed an impressive 513 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 27 receptions, establishing new Ohio State records for career receptions and touchdown catches.
His dominant performance has placed him in contention for the Heisman Trophy and positioned him to make history at the conference level. As No. 5 Ohio State prepares to face No. 4 Indiana, Smith is nearing the Big Ten's all-time touchdown reception record. He is just one touchdown away from tying the existing record of 39, held by Braylon Edwards. A multi-touchdown performance would secure the record outright for Smith.
Furthermore, Smith is climbing the Big Ten's all-time receiving yards list. His recent surge has propelled him into the top five in receiving yards within the conference. Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti acknowledged Smith's exceptional talent, labeling him a "wow player" and a "freak" due to his unique abilities on the field.
