Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith breaks the Big Ten all-time receiving yards record during the team’s game against Northwestern, according to multiple outlets. Reports say he surpasses a prior record that had stood for more than two decades, adding another milestone early in his college career.
Across coverage, outlets describe Smith’s performance as setting league marks in quick succession. ESPN and CBS Sports specifically note he eclipses a career receiving-yard benchmark during the first half versus Northwestern, while Newsweek frames the accomplishment around breaking a longstanding mark in the same matchup. Fox News similarly emphasizes that the feat occurs in just his third college season. Yahoo Sports also reports that Smith has officially broken the all-time record for receiving yards.
While the core facts align, the emphasis differs—some outlets highlight the record’s age, others stress the speed of his rise or the timing within the game. No outlets in the provided material dispute the central claim.
