He has a special talent for his age, but he needs to continue learning and improving. He is in the right place with Hartline. He reminds me of a mix of Olave and JSN with better hands.

It was wild to see a school like OSU, playing Oregon for #1 in the country, being quite comfortable throwing up 50/50 ball for a true freshman.
He's 215 already. He might be a 230 pound rookie.

'Nothing like him': Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith a 'generational talent'
Smith is breaking every freshman receiving record at Ohio State, and that might just be the beginning.
He's incredible and might end up as being a higher rated WR prospect then we've seen in a generation but I struggle putting that label on him when he's not even head and shoulders the top freshmen WR. Ryan Williams is ridiculous, a lot skinnier but as they say about 10X a week he's only 17 and moves in a way I've never quite seen.

NFL rules state that a player has to be at least 3 years removed from high school in order to be eligible for the draft.
Oh I know but this kid could change the convo. NIL $ might make it less urgent.

I am confused, he is a freshman so his first eligibility for the draft would be 2026 correct?
2027 at the earliest .

Had a TD called back I thought Ryan Day said. Missed 1st qtr. and half watched while decorating Xmas tree. I did see the 68 yard reception. He got banged up on the play.

Glad to say I have him in one DEVY league.

2027! It's ridiculous. This is why black and white rules like this are dumb. I don't have a great case to argue against him going #1 overall in next year's draft other than some dumb arbitrary rule the suits created to protect themselves. He has the body of a an elite 28 year old athlete and looks to understand the position better than many 10 years his senior. He also appears to have a great head on his shoulders on and off the field. Smith should be in the NFL next year if he wants to be.
At least in this day and age he will get paid handsomely (and legally) to continue his development in college and insurance policies can protect his future, but still...I feel like Smith and NFL fans are being robbed of two years of his career.

Great comparison.

The 2027 WR Class will have both Smith and Alabama's Ryan Williams who just finished his freshman season with 48/865/8 + 2 rushing TD's and he's only 17 years old! Doesn't turn 18 until 2/09/2025

If you have a tier break at Justin Jefferson, the neighbors must think you’re using what you’re selling.
