Jeremiah Smith has proven that his hype was justified. He has become the face of college football and Ohio State with a social media following that is increasing like wildfire (539K on Instagram), and about his NIL value? With the House settlement finalized, let’s just say by the time he reaches his final season at Ohio State, he will be earning more than some of the key players in the NFL. Now, after leading OSU to the national title, Smith is now doing the same for his brother.
Jeremiah Smith’s younger brother, Angelo Smith, just got an offer from Ohio State; and it’s not hard to predict where he will land. Angelo took to his Instagram to share the news. He wrote, “Wow!! Extremely blessed to earn an offer from Thee Ohio State University #agtg #earnednotgiven💯.” So, amid this elated news for him, he got a message from her aunt on the post, wishing him luck.
She commented, “Looooksi, that’s the way, nephew.” Undoubtedly, the message is heartwarming as she also paired up with a heart and fire emoji, expressing her feelings. As for Angelo? Well, he is keeping up well in high school and might become one of the most talented prospects in Ohio State’s class.

Standing at 5’10”, Angelo plays both sides of the ball, as a wide receiver and as a safety. Though his frame is not as big as his brother’s, who stands at 6’3 and 215 lbs, we must take into consideration that the two-way player is still in his sophomore class and developing. So, by the time the 2027 class comes in, we might see him even surpassing the physicality of Jeremiah Smith. As for his playing abilities? They are incredible for a 2027 prospect.

Last season, Angelo played as a safety and contributed to his Chaminade-Madonna High School’s Sunshine State 1A championship. In that he recorded 40 total tackles, 11 pass breakups, and three interceptions. While not featuring on the offensive side of the ball last year, his ability as a WR is still top-notch. For context, his explosiveness and top speed are remarkable, as he also competes in track and field events. All in all, Angelo is a top-notch prospect still in development, and with junior and senior seasons still in the pipeline for him at high school, the guy has a very high ceiling to develop.
Angelo Smith talks up Ohio State and his brother Jeremiah Smith
With Angelo coming to Ohio State in 2027, we might not see Jeremiah Smith play with him, as he will most likely move to the NFL by then. However, to follow the legacy of his brother is reward enough for Angelo, as he said, “Watching him [Jeremiah] work, I definitely want to be better than him, I know that.” So far, the guy has several offers coming from Miami, Oklahoma State, Toledo, and Akron. But Angelo always wanted to be a Buckeye.

What’s your perspective on:
Will Angelo Smith follow in his brother's footsteps and become Ohio State's next big star?
Have an interesting take?
“He taught me so many things that other coaches haven’t taught me at the college level. And when your coach knows what he’s doing and teaching you, that’s gonna separate you from other receivers,” said Angelo about Brian Hartline, the OSU offensive coordinator, who was the receivers coach.
Angelo spent significant time with Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State and has gotten to experience the Wide receiver-U firsthand. As for his love for Ohio State? Angelo clearly said that he is so devoted to OSU that if “I have kids, they come here as well.” Indeed, the two-way future star still has a lot to learn and master. But considering he has the guidance of none other than Jeremiah Smith, we might see him excelling sooner than expected.
