Ohio State football commit Jeremiah Smith is showing why he is the nation’s top recruit

It isn’t even halftime yet and Jeremiah Smith has three touchdown catches. The five-star wide receiver, an Ohio State football recruit, is showing why he is the nation’s top high school player.

And why the recruiting services need to wake up and make him the No. 1 recruit in the nation.

Smith, a wide receiver out of Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood, Florida), is the most complete wide receiver to come out in quite some time. He has the requisite size (6-foot-3, 198 pounds), very good speed and possesses excellent balance, footwork and agility.

An excellent route runner, he uses his frame well and consistently comes down with contested catches.

Chaminade-Madonna, ranked No. 2 in the nation in the USA TODAY HSS Super 25, is up 44-0 on Lakewood (St. Petersburg, Florida) at halftime. This touchdown is spectacular, but shows the subtle ability to stop his route, turn, and then powerfully shrug off a defensive back for a touchdown.

It’s some pretty nice balance to get into the end zone on this touchdown catch.

With what presumably is going to be a win this weekend, Chaminade-Madonna will improve to 10-0 on the season.
