Breaking : Ohio state reportedly agrees a blockbuster trade with Michigan

Every year, Ohio State head football coach Ryan Day faces a great deal of pressure, but it has increased significantly in recent seasons. Ohio State has dropped three consecutive games to archrival Michigan, and Buckeyes fans have had enough.

But as the 2024 season approaches, there’s reason for optimism in Columbus. Not only will the Buckeyes have a good shot at regaining the upper hand in the rivalry with the Wolverines, the Buckeyes appear to be in an excellent position to compete for a national championship.

Freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith prepared to make strong entrance

Ohio State will be stacked with offensive talent, and it appears that the wide receiver talent pipeline is once again in full swing. Jeremiah Smith, a freshman wide receiver, has the potential to replace receivers such as Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Jeremiah Smith may be a first-year player, but he is 6-3 and 215 pounds. He is a remarkable athlete and comes to Ohio State as an accomplished receiver. He has excellent size, speed and hands, and he is ready to compete against elite defensive backs and win the battle. That’s because he can overpower most cornerbacks and he is also a dynamic route runner who excels at making the contested catch.

He gets excellent separation when he runs his routes, and he also knows how to wall off defenders with his body control and he has remarkable concentration.

Once he makes the catch, he has shown the ability to run away from defenders and also run through arm tackles.

Even though he has yet to play his first college football game, he appears to be a player who will be drafted in the first round once he is ready to start his professional career.

QB battle is still to be decided

Head coach Ryan Day has to figure out who his starting quarterback is going to be this season. Holdover Devin Brown is in a battle with Kansas State transfer Will Howard for the QB1 position. At the start of spring practice, it appeared that Howard was going to have a big advantage in the competition.

However, Brown has been very impressive and he has made some of the kind of throws that will be demanded of him during the season.

Day has seen quite a bit of progress from Brown. “He had some really good throws, he missed some throws as well, but I think it’s slowing down for him,” Day said, per the Athletic. “He does a good job in the pocket of having poise in there. … You can’t see the pocket or see the rush, but you can feel it and I think he does.
