Jeremiah Smith, a standout wide receiver at Ohio State, has made headlines once again by breaking a long-standing freshman record for the Buckeyes. In a remarkable performance, he amassed 187 receiving yards in a game, surpassing the previous single-game record of 172 yards set by Cris Carter during the 1985 Rose Bowl against USC.
While Carter’s impressive nine catches and one touchdown that day went in vain as the Buckeyes lost 20-17 to the Trojans, Smith’s achievement highlights his incredible talent and potential as a rising star in college football.
In addition to this single-game record, Smith already holds several other significant records for Ohio State freshmen, including the most receiving yards in a season (1,224), the most receiving touchdowns (14), and the most receptions (70).
During the ongoing Rose Bowl matchup against Oregon, where Ohio State is leading 34-15 in the third quarter, Smith has also recorded seven catches and two touchdowns, further solidifying his impact on the game.
As it stands, Smith leads the rankings for most receiving yards in a game by an Ohio State true freshman, a testament to his hard work and dedication. In a heartwarming moment, it appears that Cris Carter is present at the game to personally congratulate Smith on his achievement.
This kind of record-breaking performance not only showcases Smith’s skills but also signals a bright future for both him and Ohio State football. Fans can look forward to more exciting plays from Smith as he continues to develop in his collegiate career.
