Urban Meyer, the former Ohio State head coach, stated on a podcast that Jeremiah Smith is the best receiver in college football history. This claim follows Smith's record-breaking performances, as he has set the all-time receiving record for Ohio State in just three games of his junior season. While Smith has achieved remarkable stats at Ohio State, comparisons to all-time greats highlight that he may not yet qualify as the best when considering overall career numbers across college football. Currently, Smith has 184 receptions for 2,958 yards and 30 touchdowns, but to solidify his status, a strong senior season would be pivotal.
