Big Ten Receiving King: Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith Continues To Shatter Records

Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith became the Big Ten’s all-time receiving yards leader (3,875) with a 22-yard catch in the win over Northwestern.
He finished the game with 11 catches for 117 yards and a TD and now leads the Big Ten with 80 catches, 1,317 yards and 15 TDs — making him a clear 2026 Heisman frontrunner.
Coach Ryan Day praised Smith as an “ultimate competitor” and team leader, while Smith credited hard work and said the main focus was getting the win.
