We heard the chatter and watched the nods to freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith when fall camp rolled around last season, but I don’t think any of us were ready for what we’d see from the generational talent once 2024 began. Not only was Smith as advertised, but he was better than what we heard.
It’s hard for a freshman to burst on the scene and make that kind of impact, especially at a position that has a steep learning curve with route trees, designated adjustments to coverages, and physicality at the point of attack against bigger, stronger, and more mature defenders. None of that really mattered to Smith because he had a work ethic and body that was made for college ball straight out of the box. Heck, it might be made for the NFL if he were allowed to do so.
It was a dizzying year for the freshman phenom with so many highlight-reel catches and moments that we almost forget about the bushel of amazing plays he made during a memorable 12-team College Football Playoff national championship run. With big games against the likes of Tennessee, Oregon, Notre Dame, and more, you can crank up the highlight machine and watch it over and over.
And now, thanks to the Big Ten Football “X” account, you can do just that. The social media account shared some of Smith’s best moments in the Scarlet and Gray last year, and we could watch it on repeat. You might want to as well. Take a look for yourself and then pick your jaw up off the floor.
And to think that we still have two more years to watch this man-child do his thing on a football field in the Scarlet and Gray. It’s scary to think just how good Smith will be after some more development in the program, but we are all here to see how it all plays out.
