Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith's success on and off the field has been well documented, as the 19-year-old was a catalyst behind a CFP national title run and holds an NIL valuation of $4.2 million, per On3.
The Buckeyes' wide receiver has reported NIL deals with Nintendo, Red Bull and Lululemon, among others. He also signed a deal with American Eagle Outfitters in May of last year -- a brand his brother is now also signed to.
Angelo, Jeremiah's younger brother and a class of 2027 prospect as a safety, announced the NIL deal in an Instagram video post on Friday.
In the video, Smith and two other highly-rated high school prospects, quarterback Neimann Lawrence and wide receiver Eric McFarland III, arrived at a practice field and tried on American Eagle clothing. Sporting their new gear, they threw the ball around the field as the cameras filmed.
The NIL deal came just over a week after he was offered a scholarship by Ohio State. Smith has also received offers from Miami and Toledo, according to 247 Sports. He recorded 40 tackles, three interceptions, and 11 pass breakups as a sophomore.
The younger Smith helped lead Chamiande-Madonna to the Florida 1A state championship. He is currently the No. 29 safety and No. 32 player in the state of Florida, according to 247Sports.
The 5-foot-10, three-star safety still has two years of high school football left, yet is already bringing in one of potentially many NIL deals.
