Buckeyes Targets Jeremiah Smith and JoJo Trader a Package Deal? | 2024 Ohio State Football Recruiting Tracker

As the college football world turns the page on the National Recruiting Class of 2024, there will be many eyes on the future of Ohio State’s football among the nation’s best.

The OSU class is off to a strong start early on as it looks to build on another solid run to wrap up the 2023 recruiting cycle under Ryan Day and company.

To continue the recent streak of potential college football playoff appearances, talent must continue to flock to Columbus in droves for junior days, spring training, official visits and more.

Buckeyes Now will track the daily movement of the Class of 2024 in one place.

February 1st

Jeremiah Smith is the talk of the class of 2024 after his run over the past two months, helping Hollywood (Florida) Chaminade-Madonna to another state championship and kicking off the offseason circuit with wow games at every time.

The junior’s role as Buckeye’s ambassador will also continue to be a story to follow and he doesn’t have to seek out a primary target in high school and his 7-on-7 club teammate Joshisa Trader. ‘Jojo’ worked on both sides of the ball to help win the state crown and he could project himself into attack or defense at the next level, with OSU of course heavy on his trail.

Smith helps the cause.

“We talked about going to college together, and he went early with Ohio State,” Trader told Fan Nation’s Brian Smith over the weekend. “I didn’t want to commit early.”
