Jeremiah Smith is the best player in college football. The Ohio State football player showed just how dynamic he can be last season as a true freshman. Quite frankly, he couldn't be stopped at the end of last season, and he was still just figuring out how to adjust to the college game.

He's going to be even better this year as a sophomore. He also has a very talented younger brother who plays on the opposite side of the ball. That would be Angelo Smith, who plays safety. He goes to the same high school that his older brother went to, Chaminade-Madonna in Florida.

The younger Smith is a three-star safety in the class of 2027 who has already racked up offers from some big schools. He has offers from Miami and Oklahoma State, as well as Toledo, Akron, and Georgia State. Now, he can add another offer to his list.

The Ohio State football team offers Jeremiah Smith's brother a scholarship

The Buckeyes have offered Angelo Smith a scholarship, giving him a chance to play at the same school as his brother. If he were to accept that offer and sign with the Ohio State Buckeyes, he would have a shot to play with his older brother in 2027.

Of course, it's highly unlikely that Smith would stay for his senior season. There's a good shot that he is a top-three pick in the 2026 NFL Draft if he were to come out at that time. It wouldn't make sense for Jeremiah Smith to risk injury by playing a fourth year in college.

As for the younger Smith, he still has some time to develop into a better prospect. He stands at 5'9 and 160 pounds, so he is significantly smaller than his older brother. Still, the Buckeyes think he is good enough to offer a scholarship to.

If he is as athletic as his brother, then he will have no problems having an impact on the Buckeyes if that's where he chooses to go. He still has a while before he has to make any final college decisions.
