Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith Draws Randy Moss Comparison From Steve Sarkisian

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian made a major comparison involving Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith after facing the Buckeyes this season.

In a recent SEC teleconference, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian compared Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith to legendary wide receiver Randy Moss. During the game in Week 2, Smith had a standout performance with eight receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown, leading Ohio State to a narrow 24-23 victory over Texas. Sarkisian noted Smith's similarities to Moss, highlighting his size at 6-foot-4 and 222 pounds, as well as his speed, length, strength, and ability to adjust to the ball.

The comparison comes as Smith enters the Heisman Trophy race, currently favored to win, and is projected as the top pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
