Ohio State Stars Jeremiah Smith, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. Poised for NFL Impact

News summary

Ohio State's football program continues to generate NFL-caliber talent, highlighted by wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and defensive end Kenyatta Jackson Jr. Smith, a standout freshman and national champion, is projected to be a top NFL draft pick when eligible in 2027, and he has praised Jackson Jr. as a potential first-round pick in the 2026 draft. Jackson Jr., despite limited playtime in his first three years, has stepped up as a leader alongside Caden Curry and is expected to have a breakout season in 2025. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day lauds Smith's advanced development and acknowledges Jackson Jr.'s growth and leadership after key defensive players departed. These developments suggest Ohio State could have multiple defensive players drafted early, including safety Caleb Downs, enhancing their reputation as an NFL talent factory. Meanwhile, Caleb Williams of the Bears is facing scrutiny during training camp, but commentators emphasize the need for patience as the offense develops.
