Omarr Norman-Lott couldn’t remember Jeremiah Smith’s name off the top of his head, but the former Tennessee defensive tackle certainly didn’t forget facing Ohio State’s star wide receiver in this past season’s College Football Playoff.
Asked Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine who stood out to him from the Buckeyes in Ohio State’s 42-17 win over Tennessee in December, Norman-Lott initially said his answer was “the whole team,” admitting that the Volunteers “got blown out the water.” But it was Smith, the then-freshman wideout who caught six passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Ohio State’s first-round CFP win, who impressed Norman-Lott most of all.
