Jeremiah Smith has likely cemented his status as the Heisman front‑runner after a monster performance that saw him become Ohio State’s career leader in both receptions and touchdown receptions during the Buckeyes’ 31‑14 victory over Iowa on Saturday.
Smith’s dominant display helped Ohio State secure the win, with the Buckeyes outscoring the Hawkeyes by a decisive 17‑point margin.
“I’m the best player in the country,” Smith said after the game, a statement that echoes the buzz surrounding his candidacy for the Heisman Trophy.
The Heisman Trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football, and Smith’s breakout game has drawn the attention of the award’s voters.
Ohio State’s triumph over Iowa adds another chapter to the program’s storied football history, with Smith’s record‑setting performance highlighted as a key factor in the Buckeyes’ success.
