Adidas is pleased to announce the addition of Jeremiah Smith, one of college football’s most prominent emerging talents, to its expanding roster of student-athlete partners.
During his freshman year at Ohio State University, Smith made a significant impact on the field, recording 76 receptions for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns. His contributions helped lead his team to a National Championship victory. Smith set several records for the Buckeyes and received numerous honors, including first-team All-America recognition from USA Today. He was also named the Big Ten Conference’s Richter-Howard Wide Receiver of the Year and the Thompson-Randle El Freshman of the Year.
“One of the most memorable moments from last season was losing my black stripe and officially becoming a Buckeye,” says Jeremiah Smith. “Fast forward a year and I’m blessed to be adding three, joining the fastest brand in football. It’s crazy to be partnering with a brand that has such a talented roster of players and that I’ve been wearing since I was a young kid. We’re not done yet.”
Smith will serve as a representative for the Three Stripes in various brand marketing campaigns, including an upcoming initiative featuring one of the nation’s most promising young female athletes.
“We’re building a roster of collegiate athletes that are writing new chapters, creating legacies and shattering records for their programs and universities,” said Chris McGuire, adidas Vice President of Sports Marketing. “As the face of the next generation of elite football players, Jeremiah has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the game, making him a perfect fit for our roster of athletes.”
Smith joins an expanding roster of adidas Football partners, including Patrick Mahomes, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Garrett Wilson, Chris Jones, Trevor Lawrence, and Michael Penix Jr.
He also joins fellow Buckeyes Emeka Egbuka and Wilson on the adidas roster, along with two members of adidas’ recently announced adizero NIL class—Chris Henry Jr. and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt—who have both committed to play for Ohio State.
