Jeremiah Smith Doing Things an Ohio State Freshman Has Never Done, Even if He Didn't Expect To

One of the most continually impressive things about Jeremiah Smith – well, off the football field at least – is his humility.

At every turn when he has the chance to praise himself, he deflects to teammates and coaches. It’s a tired cliché, but he’s kept his head down and worked at every turn. There’s a reason he became the first freshman ever named an Iron Buckeye by Ohio State’s strength and conditioning staff.

That humility popped up again when someone asked Smith what he saw on an interception tossed by Will Howard against Marshall, a pass intended for Smith deep up the right sideline.
