Ohio State Secures Commitment of Angelo Smith, Brother of Star WR Jeremiah Smith

Ohio State has secured the commitment of Angelo Smith, a 2027 safety prospect and younger brother of star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, extending the family's legacy at the university. Angelo, a three-star recruit from Florida's Chaminade-Madonna Prep, impressed with 40 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and three interceptions, contributing to his team's state championship. Despite being ranked modestly, Ohio State's long-term relationship-building and Angelo's work ethic earned him the offer and commitment over other schools, including Miami and Oklahoma State. Jeremiah Smith, a standout wide receiver who played a crucial role in Ohio State's national championship, celebrated his brother's commitment on social media, although the brothers are unlikely to overlap in college due to Jeremiah's expected early entry into the 2027 NFL Draft. Angelo stands out for his toughness and determination despite his smaller stature compared to Jeremiah, highlighting his unique path and potential at Ohio State. This addition further strengthens Ohio State's 2027 recruiting class, which already includes top prospects like wide receiver Jamier Brown and quarterback Brady Edmunds.
