Jeremiah Smith Sets New Ohio State Receiving Yards Record
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith broke the university's record for most receiving yards in program history during a 59-3 blowout win against Kent State.
Dayton, OH, September 19, 2026 —
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has set a new program record for the most receiving yards in the university’s history. The milestone was achieved during the Buckeyes’ recent 59-3 victory over Kent State.
The exact date of the game and the specific yardage total required to break the record were not provided in the summary. Similarly, the name of the previous record holder and the year the prior record was set are also not specified. The details of the game itself, beyond the final score of 59-3 in favor of Ohio State, such as the number of receptions or touchdowns Smith made during the contest, were not detailed in the available information.
Smith, a prominent figure in the Ohio State offense, has been a key player for the team. His performance against Kent State marks a significant achievement in his collegiate career and places him in the record books for the university’s football program. The scale of the victory, a 56-point margin, highlights the team’s dominant performance in that particular game.
Further details regarding the specifics of the record, including the final yardage achieved by Smith and how it surpassed the previous benchmark, are pending. The nature of the record being for “most receiving yards in program history” indicates a cumulative total over a player’s career at Ohio State, rather than a single-game record. The context of the record being set during a blowout win suggests that Smith may have had a notable performance contributing to the lopsided score, or that the game provided an opportunity to reach this milestone.
