Freshman Receivers Are Shaking Up the Game — Who’s Poised to Dominate?
Look at Williams’ production so far, and then imagine what he would be like if he got a bit better at shaking loose the poor defenders trying to cover him. A version of Williams that did not even have to bother with contested catches would not be fair.
Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State
Ohio State hasn’t played serious competition yet, but Smith has looked so dominant that few people would dare be skeptical about how good he’s been.
Against non-power competition over the first three weeks, he caught 14 of his 17 targets for 281 yards and four touchdowns. Smith wasn’t quite unrecoverable, as a Marshall cornerback demonstrated in Week 3 when he ran stride-for-stride with the five-star WR and intercepted a deep ball from Will Howard.
