The Buckeye nation is lit—literally and figuratively. Ohio State finally broke the decade-long drought, securing the natty against Notre Dame with a 34-23 win. While the squad balled out, it was true freshman Jeremiah Smith who stole the show. But let’s not even talk about the game for a second. The man dropped an IG post so hard it felt like a national holiday in Ohio!
Picture this: cigar in hand, ski goggles on, rocking the championship tee and hat like he’s been doing this for years. Jeremiah Smith wasn’t just celebrating; he was giving red-notice alerts to SEC and Big 10 heavy hitters. Let’s keep it real—Jeremiah Smith is HIM. The 19-year-old didn’t just contribute this season; he dominated. With 1,315 receiving yards, 15 touchdowns, and the ‘Freshman of the Year’ award, Smith put the college football world on notice. His playoff run? Straight off Christopher Nolan’s cinema.

The first round against Josh Heupel’s Tennesse? Boy, did he click off, caught for over 100 yards on 6 reception along with 2 tuddies. And, against Oregon in the Rose Bowl, the man dropped 187 yards and two touchdowns, earning MVP honors like it was light work. Look, all props and creds to Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns, only they held Jeremiah’s Smith to the ground. Jeremiah Smith got snubbed under Sark’s defense scheme and only had a reception for 3 yards. But who cares as long as your team wins, right?
Anyway, by the time he hit Notre Dame, he was a certified legend. Smith’s 56-yard clutch catch on third-and-11 against Notre Dame didn’t just set up a field goal; it sealed Ohio State’s championship dreams. NFL legend Steve Smith Sr. wasn’t kidding when he said, “You need to check his birth certificate.” Jeremiah doesn’t play like a 19-year-old; he plays like a future HoFer already.
The Buckeye Nation went crazy after Smith’s latest IG smoking flex
On January 22, Jeremiah Smith didn’t just drop a photo—he dropped a cultural bomb. His post of him puffing a cigar with all the championship swag had IG in shambles. Buckeye fans? Going absolutely feral.

The fans started with, “Well well well, u just might be the greatest WR ever.” Low-key facts. Jeremiah’s freshman season feels like the start of a GOAT trajectory. With the way he’s cooking defenses, calling him the greatest isn’t even a stretch—it’s a prophecy in the making. Another Buckeye fan commented, “The way he breathes is so tough bro.” This one had us rolling. Smith doesn’t just run routes; he moves like an artist painting a masterpiece. The man can run any and every route, can run fly, slant, flat, corner, and whatever else in the playbook.
This fan, “Bro got legendary lore.” If college football had a mythology, Jeremiah Smith would be its Zeus. From his jaw-dropping Rose Bowl performance to his game-sealing catch against Notre Dame, his story already feels like a script for a blockbuster. Ohio State legend is already in season 1. This guy had some betting advice: “The parlay hits every time with this guy.” Why bet against the market or house, and go broke at 26, when you can bet your house on Jeremiah Smith and buy some real estate on returns!! Cus Jeremiah Smith always delivers. Easy money, if you ask.
The last fan was bad down, “Oh king, where do I even start. Top 5 human of all time. LeBron of football. I would let you do unholy things to me.” Okay, pause. This fan took the hype to a whole other galaxy. But honestly? That’s the Jeremiah Smith effect—he’s got people simping in public, and we respect it.

But here’s the wildest part: this was just his freshman season. If Smith can pull off this level of dominance as a 19-year-old, imagine what’s coming next. Buckeye Nation is literally strapped in for what’s about to be an insane ride. Jeremiah’s not just a star in the making—he’s already the sun, and the college football world is orbiting around him.
