Smith Reveals Alabama Was His Dream School

Smith explained that growing up, he dreamed of playing for Alabama under Nick Saban, with players like Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy inspiring him. 'They wasn't recruiting me,' Smith said. 'I think I committed to Ohio State too early and that's why they stopped.'

Despite Alabama's lack of interest, Smith has thrived at Ohio State, earning Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Big Ten Receiver of the Year, and helping the Buckeyes win a national championship in his first two seasons. With his impressive stats—including leading the Big Ten in receiving yards with 1,243 last season—Smith has solidified himself as one of college football's premier receivers. milkshake.it.com
