NFL can wait: Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith keeps pro talk at bay while chasing Buckeyes history

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Jeremiah Smith, a highly touted wide receiver for Ohio State, remains focused on his current football season rather than the prospect of playing in the NFL next year. As the preseason AP All-America pick, Smith leads the Big Ten in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns for a sophomore. He also leads the Football Bowl Subdivision since 2005 with 27 touchdowns.

Coach Ryan Day believes Smith has the potential to leave a lasting legacy and even win the Heisman Trophy. Smith's impact on Ohio State football is significant, and his performance in the upcoming season will be crucial for the team's pursuit of a second national championship in three years.
