Devin Smith is one of the greatest wide receivers in Ohio State history and before he got to Columbus, Smith was one of the greatest to ever suit up for Massillon Washington High School and is now being recognized for his on-field achievements.

Smith was a three-sport athlete competing in basketball, football, and track. Every Buckeye fan remembers Smith’s blazing speed so the fact that he won state in the 100-meter dash in 2011 should surprise no one. Smith also won state in the long jump.
