The Ohio State Buckeyes have a special talent on their hands with wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who has consistently proven to be among the best and most NFL-ready players in the college ranks. But, he's just a freshman,

Some think of LSU as "Wide Receiver University." while others say it's Ohio State. The Tigers can claim Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. over the past five years. Ohio State has had 12 wideouts drafted in the past decade,

Freshman Jeremiah Smith isn't eligible for the NFL Draft until 2027. But he's convinced more than a few people he's ready for the NFL now.

It's been more than two decades since Maurice Clarett tried and failed to challenge NFL’s draft eligibility rules. Jeremiah Smith should try now.

It's a shame Ohio State Buckeyes freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is ineligible for the 2025 NFL Draft. A player must be out of high school for three years to be eligible for the NFL Draft. The rule makes some sense. Most freshmen need time to develop. However, Smith (6-foot-3, 215 pounds) looks like an exception.

The Seahawks star played college ball for the West Virginia Mountaineers before joining the NFL in 2013. Before their football careers, both Smiths grew up in the Miami area, right down the road from each other. Geno played high school ball for Miramar High School, while Jeremiah played for Chaminade-Madonna.

It might be time for a rule chance in NFL Draft eligibility as the landscape of college football has changed dramatically.
