The Ohio State football program is currently gearing up for the 2026 college football season, recently partaking in their annual spring game. The Buckeyes are looking to bounce back after a puzzling loss to the Miami Hurricanes in the quarterfinal round of the college football playoff last year.
It was a strangely quiet game for Jeremiah Smith in that one after a mostly strong second season in Columbus, and recently, the star wide receiver got 100% real on some of the failures that Ohio State endured down the stretch of last season.
“Not good enough, not at Ohio State,” Smith said, per On3 Sports. “That’s why they pay us, why they pay Coach (Ryan) Day, to reach all our goals. The first one is to beat the team up north. Then it’s winning the Big Ten championship, and the third one is winning the national championship. It’s the reason you come to Ohio State, to accomplish those three things, and I feel like this year we’ve got a very good chance to do that.”
After spending most of the year ranked number one in 2025, the Buckeyes first loss in upset fashion to the eventual national champion Indiana Hoosiers in the Big Ten championship game, and then dropped another one against Miami in the Sugar Bowl, ending their season.
Smith is now entering his third year in Columbus, and is already expected by most to be the first receiver called off the board next year in the NFL Draft.
“If you come to Ohio State, you gotta be different,” Smith said. “Here at Ohio State, you’re not bigger than this, no matter who you are. If I had come in here all cocky and just trying to get by in practice, they would have thrown me to the curb. I would have been just another good high school receiver, and they would have found another one like me.”
The Buckeyes’ season will start in September.
