Miami Fans Are Calling Out Ohio State Star Jeremiah Smith

Ohio State Buckeyes football star Jeremiah Smith has remained loyal to the Columbus, Ohio program, despite "certain programs" making him big offers to leave.

Smith, a five-star recruit, has been one of the top players in college football over the past two seasons. He starred right away as a freshman and had a standout sophomore season, as well.

While many top players will often transfer, chasing bigger paydays, Smith has stayed put in Columbus, Ohio. Smith did receive interest from other programs, though.

“I wasn’t surprised,” Smith said. “I knew, especially at the end of that game (vs. Miami in the Cotton Bowl), that a certain program was going to come at me very hard. Not gonna say no names, I think everybody here knows who it was. But I wasn’t goin’ nowhere.”

That "certain program" is believed to be Miami. Smith was recruited hard by Miami coming out of high school. It sounds like the Hurricanes have remained steady in their pursuit of Smith, too.

Miami fans aren't loving Smith's answer.

"So glad we beat these boys with him … Proof we ain't need him… He's good where he's at …" one Hurricanes fan wrote.

"Hold that L. Hope we meet again this year," one fan added.

"Passive aggressive man," one fan added.

"Mario tried to save you from yourself brother. But with or without you, Canes will roll. Never forget that," another fan added.

Miami beat Ohio State in the College Football Playoff, before losing to Indiana in the national title game.
