Jeremiah Smith teases the 1 program that pushed for him to transfer
Speaking to the media, Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith said that a certain program pursued him this offseason, but to no avail.
As the undisputed top wide receiver in college football, any program would like to add Ohio State Buckeyes star Jeremiah Smith if he were to enter the transfer portal. Only a select few could actually command the attention of Smith, as the NIL deal would have to be significant and the location ideal. Both could be offered by the Miami Hurricanes, as Smith is an Opa Locka, FL, native, less than a 30-minute drive from Miami.
Head coach Mario Cristobal's program spent big on a Duke Blue Devils duo of quarterback Darian Mensh and wide receiver Cooper Barkate, wooing both to commit via the portal following the season. And while Smith wouldn't specifically say the words "Miami," it wasn't difficult to guess which program he was referring to that played in the national championship game and went after him hard this offseason — despite never entering the portal. "I knew especially at the end of that game that a certain program was going to come at me very hard.
Not gonna say no names, I think everybody here knows who it was. But I wasn’t goin’ nowhere. " NEW: Ohio State star WR Jeremiah Smith was asked about post-season transfer portal offers: “I knew especially at the end of that game that a certain program was going to come at me very hard.
