Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who was the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2024, will be the first freshman to start in Week 1 for the Buckeyes since 2021.
Ohio State no longer has Marvin Harrison Jr., but a highly-touted freshman will have the opportunity to replace the former Buckeyes star's production when they open up the 2024 season on Saturday. Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith will be in Ohio State's starting lineup when it hosts Akron in Week 1, head coach Ryan Day told reporters on Tuesday. 'Yes,' Day simply responded when asked if Smith would be on the field for Ohio State's first offensive snap of the season.
Since then, Smith has made even the most even-keeled players and coaches gush with praise for him in practice.' FOX Sports gambling expert Chris 'The Bear' Fallica has also heard tremendous buzz about Smith after the receiver's first offseason in Columbus. 'I think Smith is a total freak and I think he has an opportunity to be super, super special,' Fallica said in a recent episode of 'Bear Bets.
