Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith might already be the best pass-catcher in college football and he is getting compensated accordingly. The 19-year-old sophomore is likely one of the highest-paid players outside of the quarterback position, which does not even include what he makes through outside ventures like appearances, social media partnerships, etc.
Exact numbers are not made public when it comes to Name, Image and Likeness but Smith has enough money in his bank account to purchase pants with a price tag greater than $10,000. Can’t relate!
Smith was ranked as the No. 1 overall prospect in the college football recruiting Class of 2024. The Miami-native ultimately committed to Ohio State over Florida and Florida State. Although the opportunity to play for Brian Hartline and compete for a national championship was the primary catalyst for his decision, finances also played a significant role. The Buckeyes are paying him very well.
According to Syracuse head coach Fran Brown, Jeremiah Smith is getting $2 million a year. Nobody outside of Columbus knows for certain but I would imagine that number is probably about right. It might even be too low, considering that he received offers north of $4 million to transfer during the offseason.
Whatever Smith is getting paid is a lot— especially for a 19-year-old sophomore in college. He can afford $10,500 pants!
Jeremiah Smith recently swung by internet famous vintage clothing store Heat Archive in Columbus. His goal was to leave the store with cash in hand for an old pair of Chrome Hearts slacks. Owner Andrew Kounouzvelis started the negotiations at $5,000. Smith wanted $8,000.
They later compromised on a $2,000 coin flip. Heads was $4,000. Tails was $6,000. It was tails!
I don’t know how much wear Smith got out of his pants before he sold them but, all things considered, a $4,000 loss on $10,000 pants is pretty good. I wonder what he spent the cash on!
