Oregon State WR Beats Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith to Impressive Milestone
Oregon State WR Jesse Legree beats Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith to 1,000 receiving yards on the season in their Week 7 win.
In the world of college football, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is often considered the best wide receiver in the nation, and possibly even the best overall player. However, Oregon State freshman wide receiver Jesse Legree is giving Smith a run for his money. Since his first collegiate game, Legree has consistently recorded at least 100 receiving yards each time he's played.
On Saturday, Legree continued his impressive form by recording 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns against Washington State in a 48-30 victory. This achievement has propelled him into an exclusive group, becoming the first player in the country to reach 1,000 receiving yards this season. Despite facing tough competition like Smith, Legree has managed to hold his own, showcasing his potential as a top NFL prospect.
Oregon State aims to maintain their five-game winning streak in their next game against Fresno State in Week 9, following a bye week in Week 8.
