NFL Draft Expert Reveals Massive Claim About Ohio State Buckeyes WR

THE Ohio State Buckeyes We expected a big season from star freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, but what he actually did exceeded those expectations.

Smith instantly became an elite receiver. In fact, some believe he is the most talented receiver in the entire country.

So far this season, after Ohio State’s dominant win over the Tennessee Volunteers In the first game of the College Football Playoff, Smith caught 63 passes for 1,037 yards and 12 touchdowns. He continued to play at the elite level, regardless of the level of the team he played against.

Now the Buckeyes will need a huge game from him in their rematch against the Oregon Ducks on New Year’s Day.

Among Smith’s biggest supporters is former NFL draft expert Todd McShay. He spoke with a massive statement about the Ohio State freshman.

In a post on social mediaMcShay claimed that if Smith were eligible for the 2025 NFL Draft, he would be the No. 1 overall pick.

“If he were eligible in April, he would be the first WR to be taken No. 1 in the draft since Keyshawn Johnson in 1996. But we’ll have to wait until 2027.”

Honestly, McShay is probably right. Smith still has plenty of room to grow and already looks like arguably the best wideout in the country.

Once again, the Buckeyes struck gold at the wide receiver position. Smith is just the latest in a long line of stars to head to the NFL from Ohio State.

Among that list are Marvin Harrison Jr., Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Chris Olave, Terry McLaurin and many others. Smith will join them shortly.

Fortunately, the Buckeyes have a few more years with Smith. As long as he’s on the team, the offense will be lethal. They have two young quarterbacks who also have star potential, Julian Sayin and Tavien St. Clair.

All that being said, Smith has taken the college football world by storm. McShay’s strong take on him only adds to what has already been an incredible season for the young wideout.
