Ohio State has two of college football’s 10 freakiest athletes.
Jeremiah Smith earned the No. 1 spot on this year’s edition of Bruce Feldman’s “Freaks” list, the veteran college football reporter’s annual look at the sport’s top athletes. Sonny Styles is ranked 10th on this year’s list of Freaks.
Feldman chose Smith as the sport’s best athlete this season after the sophomore wide receiver followed up his spectacular freshman season by earning Iron Buckeye honors for both winter and summer workouts at Ohio State. Feldman’s article shines more light into why Smith earned Iron Buckeye honors twice this offseason, as Smith – who is “bigger and stronger and faster than he was last year,” according to Ryan Day at Big Ten Media Day – posted spectacular workout numbers this offseason.
