The Ohio State Buckeyes currently dealing with business against Purdue Boilermakers this afternoon. At halftime, Ohio State holds a 21-0 lead over Purdue.

While they are winning right now, the Buckeyes saw another amazing run in the first half.

Ohio State freshman star Jeremiah Smith broke yet another monstrous school record. His college football career is off to a fast start, and he certainly appears to have a chance to become the best wide receiver to ever play for the Buckeyes.

In the first half against the Boilermakers, Smith ended up breaking the record for most receptions by a freshman receiver.

Smith went on to break that prestigious record, previously held by the legendary Cris Carter.

Coming into his freshman season, Smith was expected to be very good. However, no one could have predicted how good he actually ended up being.

Before today’s game, Smith had caught 39 passes for 678 yards and eight touchdowns. He added six catches for 87 yards and a touchdown to that total today.

Looking ahead to the rest of the season, Ohio State will need Smith to continue to play at an elite level. They have only one goal this year, which is to win a national championship. Smith will be a big part of helping the team reach their goal.

It’s very clear that Smith is on his way to becoming a very high NFL draft pick in the future. The scary thought is that it hasn’t even reached its full potential yet.

That said, it will be interesting to see what the rest of the season has in store for Smith. He will continue to improve on his new record and set the bar very high for future Buckeyes receivers to beat for receptions in a freshman season.
