Ohio State has an elite crop of freshman receivers, and one of them already might have the catch of the year.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba made a big splash in his first-ever collegiate game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Despite only pulling in two catches for a total of five yards and a touchdown, he might have made a catch that taken the forefront of the Catch of the Year race so early in the Buckeye season.
