5-Star WR Jeremiah Smith Commits to Ohio State; No. 2 Recruit in Class of 2024

Smith said he would play for Ohio State.

According to Smith, the most striking thing to him was the camaraderie. From the beginning, it was obvious how the practice was run. I knew there was no place like it and I couldn't pass up the chance to be a part of it.

Smith is the nation's top-ranked wide receiver and the second-ranked player in the class of 2020. He chose the Ohio State over the other schools.

The Chaminade-Madonna Prep product is listed at 6'3" and 185 pounds, already giving him the type of frame that should make him an instant impact player. The history of developing first-round talent at the wide receiver position helped make his decision.

Smith said that it meant a lot to him. It shows that Hartline is developing his players. I know that coach Hartline will help me become the best version of myself, like he did with Chris and Garrett.

The first 11 picks of last year's draft were taken, and two more could go in the first round. If Marvin Harrison becomes draft eligible in 2024, he will be a first-round pick.

Smith could become the next great Ohio State wideout if Harrison leaves. He is an ideal fit for Ryan Day's up-tempo offense because of his top-end speed and athletic ability.

Smith is one of four players to commit to Day. Five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola, four-star offensive lineman Ian Moore, and four-star athleteGarrett Stover are also included.
