Smith, a native of Bradenton, Florida, made his official commitment to the Buckeyes back in December 2022, but his signing on Wednesday during the early signing period made it official.
A Star is Born
Smith is considered one of the most talented wide receivers in recent memory. He’s a physical specimen at 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, with elite speed and jumping ability. He’s also a polished route runner with a knack for making big plays in traffic.
Why Ohio State?
Smith had offers from all the top programs in the country, but he ultimately chose Ohio State because of its rich tradition at the wide receiver position, its elite coaching staff, and the opportunity to play in the Big Ten Conference.

Impact on the Field
Smith is expected to make an immediate impact for the Buckeyes. He could even start as a true freshman. His arrival gives Ohio State one of the best receiving corps in the country, alongside veterans like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Julian Fleming.
The Future is Bright
With the addition of Smith, the future of Ohio State football is looking very bright. The Buckeyes are poised to compete for national championships for years to come.
Here are some additional details about Smith’s signing:
