In a stunning twist that has shaken the college football world to its core, five-star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, the consensus No. 1 wide receiver in the 2024 class, has officially flipped his commitment from Ohio State to the Texas Longhorns, rejecting powerhouse programs Georgia, Alabama, and Miami in the process.

 

Smith, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound phenom out of Chaminade-Madonna Prep in Hollywood, Florida, had been a longtime Ohio State pledge. His commitment to the Buckeyes had been seen as rock-solid, especially given the school’s history of producing NFL-caliber wide receivers. But in a move no one saw coming this late in the recruiting cycle, Smith pulled the trigger and announced his decision to join Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns, sending shockwaves through the recruiting world and igniting a firestorm on social media.

 

The announcement came via a video posted on Smith’s social platforms late Monday night, in which he was seen walking onto the Texas campus in Austin before revealing a burnt orange jersey with his name on the back. The caption read simply: “Home. Hook ‘Em.”

 

While he did not elaborate extensively on his decision during the announcement, Smith later stated in an interview that two specific reasons convinced him to make the leap to Texas. He did not reveal those reasons publicly at this time, further adding intrigue and speculation across recruiting circles.

 

College football insiders say the move is one of the boldest flips in recent memory.

 

> “This is seismic,” said recruiting analyst Jeff Knight. “When you’re talking about flipping the best receiver in the country, from a program like Ohio State that is known for developing elite wideouts, to Texas — it’s not just a win for Sarkisian, it’s a statement to the entire country that Texas is back in the national recruiting elite.”

 

 

 

The Longhorns, who are preparing to make their full transition into the SEC, now have what many are calling the top wide receiver haul in the nation. Smith instantly becomes the crown jewel of their class, joining a high-powered offense that is already brimming with future NFL talent.

 

Texas fans exploded with excitement online, with “Jeremiah Smith” trending on X (formerly Twitter) within minutes of the news breaking. Buckeyes fans, on the other hand, were left in disbelief.

 

> “This is a gut punch,” one Ohio State fan wrote. “We really lost the best receiver in the country. Unreal.”

 

 

 

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has not yet publicly commented on the commitment, but insiders say the coaching staff has been quietly confident for weeks, believing that a flip was possible after Smith’s recent unofficial visit to Austin.

 

With the commitment of Jeremiah Smith, Texas not only scores a major recruiting victory — they send a warning shot across the SEC. The message is loud and clear: Texas isn’t just coming. Texas is here.
