Ohio State Football 5-star recruit Jeremiah Smith turned off by Buckeyes fans’ comments
Harsh fan reaction to a recent Buckeye recruit’s decision to turn down Ohio State has rumors swirling.
Unfortunately, the ire of Buckeyes fans caught the attention of one of the school’s other ’24 recruits, who happens to be the number one ranked player in the country as signing days approaches on the first Wednesday of February 2024: wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.
Smith reacted to Ohio State fans’ anger about Scott’s transfer — complete with screenshots, laughter, and facepalm emojis in two social media posts. “People crazy man,” wrote Smith, adding “TSS” — social medial shorthand for ‘this s*** sucks.’
The star recruit has previously stated his desire to become one of the best players ever to don a Buckeyes uniform, but his reaction to fans’ vitriol has the rumor mill churning again.
“If Brian Hartline and Ryan Day are at Ohio State in the 2024 season Smith is likely to sign with the Buckeyes,” wrote Rivals.com’s John Garica Jr. late Friday, “That still feels like the case, even with Justin Scott’s flip to Miami.”
Despite that report, Ohio State football fans know things can instantly change during the recruiting season.
