Overview
- Smith set Ohio State’s all-time receiving yards mark in a 59-3 win over Kent State, overtaking Michael Jenkins and putting him atop the program leaderboard.
- Ohio State lists Smith’s career totals at 184 receptions, 2,958 receiving yards and 30 touchdown catches through three seasons with the Buckeyes.
- On the Triple Option podcast, former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer called Smith “probably the best receiver in college football history,” a remark that was widely amplified by national media.
- Statistical analysts pushed back, noting much larger career totals by players such as Corey Davis (5,285 yards) and arguing that raw career numbers and per-season averages do not support labeling Smith the all-time college best.
- The record boosts Smith’s standing as a top 2027 NFL prospect and puts him on track to chase additional Ohio State marks while scouts weigh his physical traits and how his college production projects to the NFL.
