Ohio State star Jeremiah Smith eager to put on show especially if Notre Dame decides to ‘play man’
ATLANTA — Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State’s superstar freshman receiver, sounded downright giddy at the possibility of seeing single coverage on Monday night.
Notre Dame has a terrific secondary, and typically relies on that group. It led the nation in passing efficiency defense. But it hasn’t seen a group of receivers like the ones belonging to the Buckeyes. They were third in passing efficiency.
“If you are going to play man [to-man defense] against Ohio State, be ready,” Smith said Saturday. “I can’t wait to put on a show.”
The dynamic wideout destroyed Tennessee and Oregon in the first two rounds of the playoff, making 13 catches for 290 yards and four touchdowns. Texas limited him to just one reception for three years by sending extra defensive backs his way, freeing up Ohio State’s other dynamic weapons.
This week, Notre Dame standout freshman cornerback Leonard Moore said the Irish aren’t going to change “who we are” by switching to zone coverage.
“We’re going to play man coverage like we do every week,” said Moore, the National Freshman Defensive Player of the Year, as voted on by the Football Writers Association of America.
He added: “We’re going to go out there and challenge the receivers.”
Smith is ready to be tested. Ohio State also has explosive threats Emeka Egbuka (947 yards, 10 touchdowns) and Carnell Tate (698 yards, four touchdowns) on the outside who are difficult to deal with.
“None of us think we can be covered. I mean, we actually talked about this yesterday, as well,” Smith said. “If that’s what they do, that’s what they do. We’re just going to go out there, play our game and show the reason not to play man on man.”
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman doesn’t sound all that interested in coaching in the NFL. It was reported recently that the Bears are looking to interview Freeman for their head coach vacancy.
“To hear that the Bears have interest, it’s humbling. It’s the NFL,” he said. “But it’s also a reminder [that] with team success, comes individual success.
“I have put zero thought into coaching in the NFL. All my attention has just been on getting this team prepared for every opportunity we have in front of us. Probably not the answer you’re looking for, but that’s the answer you’re going to get.”
Freeman recently signed a four-year contract extension with Notre Dame that extends through the 2030 season.
Bob Chesney has done a good job at recruiting players from the 2027 high school class.
The 2027 class is Chesney’s first real recruiting class and has so far brought in one of the best in the country, ranking eighth according to 247Sports.
With 19 total commits, Chesney has brought in seven 4-star recruits, with 12 being 3-star, and some being borderline 4-star-caliber recruits who can see a rise in their rankings with a good senior season.
While Chesney has done a good job recruiting players on both the offense and defense, the quarterback has eluded him, and he is still searching for a top quarterback prospect to commit to the Bruins.
Luckily for the Bruins, they have had some success in recruiting top players. Recently, the Bruins will get a visit from Colton Nussmeier this weekend, and are now linked to one of the top committed prospects in Brady Edmunds.
Edmunds As a Prospect
Edmunds is a 4-star prospect and, according to 247Sports, the 16th-ranked quarterback and the 17th-ranked player in the state of California.
247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins describes the 6’5 “quarterback as an experienced pocket passer with a prototypical build that can drive the ball around the field. Edmunds is also capable of escaping from the pocket to pick up a first down with his legs, and is even compared to Tyler Van Dyke from SMU.
Coming from Huntington Beach, California, during his junior season, he led Huntington Beach to an 8-3 record while throwing for 2,724 yards, 32 TDs, and only two INTs on 196-for-288 passing. He also ran the ball 54 times for 147 yards and four TDs.
Ivins does think that while he is very talented, he might need a year to sit behind an experienced quarterback to learn the speed and physicality of the game. If he were to commit to UCLA, he would already have that covered, as Nico Iamaleava would have one more year of eligibility after next season.
Edmunds and UCLA
Edmunds has been off the market since 2024, when he committed to Ohio State under Chip Kelly. Since Kelley’s departure after the Buckeyes championship season, Edmunds has kept his recruitment open while still committed to Ohio State.
UCLA first offered him back in early 2024, when Deshaun Foster was the head coach, and, with Chesney as the new head coach, he has been active in Edmunds’ recruitment.
If Chesney is able to steal away a top quarterback prospect from an elite school within the same conference, it would be a massive win for the program.
