Steve Sarkisian Compares Jeremiah Smith To Legendary NFL WR Before Ohio State Clash originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When the Texas Longhorns and defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes meet in a season‑opening showdown at Ohio Stadium on Aug. 30, it will mark only the fifth meeting in a series that is deadlocked at 2-2.

Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has received a very flattering NFL comparison from the Indiana Hoosiers' head coach.

Smith, who surpassed all reasonable expectations for his freshman season at Ohio State, is now a full-blown superstar. He graced the cover of EA Sports’ College Football 26, and is one of the most popular players in the sport. That’s off the field.
