Jeremiah posted a picture of himself in front of a black Mercedes, announcing that he is joining the group in a partnership. No financial details have been released just yet, but we do know that Smith’s total evaluation is somewhere around $4 million, according to On3.
This is not the first time that the WR is linked with a stunning NIL deal. He already has a great NIL portfolio, props to his earlier deals with many prestigious companies. Some of those names include The 1870 Society, Red Bull, Nintendo, Battle Sports, and more.
While Smith’s arrival had a fast impact on the Buckeyes, he was quick to play a crucial role within the team. In the upcoming season, the WR will be under much more pressure to produce at an even higher level than he did as a freshman. With the departure of Will Howard, it is his moment to step up and be more important for whoever wins the job.
