Ohio State football fans have a complicated relationship with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He seemed to quit on the team back during the 2022 team. He decided not to play for the team as they were gearing up for a run to the College Football Playoff, despite the fact that he was reportedly healthy.
Since that moment, some fans have been out on him. A segment of the fanbase still loves him. Regardless of how the fanbase feels about him, the Buckeyes can certainly use him to help with their recruiting efforts. That's especially true with how well he has been playing this season.
