Are Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate the two best wide receivers in college football? Carnell Tate didn’t hesitate when he was asked that question following Ohio State’s win over Minnesota.
“I know that, for sure,” Tate replied.
Smith was already well-established as college football’s best wide receiver before the 2025 season began. His spectacular freshman season, in which he caught 76 passes for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns, made him a national superstar. He’s backed up his elite status through Ohio State’s first five games of the season as he’s caught 35 passes for 463 yards and six touchdowns (while also running for a touchdown).
