Smith has dominated against Ball State, Texas, and Kent State, totaling 21 receptions for 400 yards and three touchdowns.

08/01/26:

In 2025, Smith caught 87 passes for 1,243 yards and 12 touchdowns. Smith (6-3, 215) took college football by storm as a freshman, and he dominated for the Buckeyes. In his debut season, Smith caught 76 passes for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns. He showed size, speed, athleticism, and natural feel in a tremendous freshman year, helping Ohio State win a National Championship. For a big receiver, Smith has a rare and special ability to use speed, athleticism, and shiftiness to uncover quickly on short and intermediate routes. He reminds this analyst of Julio Jones during his great seasons in Atlanta.

Carr completed 67 percent of his passes for 2,741 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was accurate, managed the game well, has developed field vision, and is a dangerous pocket passer with functional mobility. Carr is also known to have great leadership, character, and loves football. Some team sources have told me that they comp Carr to Brock Purdy.
