Ohio State’s top wide receivers earned spots on the Biletnikoff Award watch list entering the 2025 season.
On Wednesday, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation named Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate as candidates for the prestigious honor for pass catchers, positioning Ohio State to have its second Biletnikoff Award winner in three years and third all-time, following Terry Glenn in 1995 and Marvin Harrison Jr. in 2023.
