{"id":2477,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/2477","headline":"Jeremiah Smith sets Big Ten career receiving yards record","dek":"The Ohio State star passed Purdue's John Standeford on a 22-yard catch and finished with 11 receptions, 117 yards and a touchdown in a 28-19 win over Northwestern.","body":"Jeremiah Smith added another line to his growing list of records on Saturday. With 43 seconds left in the first quarter of Ohio State's Week 11 game against Northwestern, the sophomore wide receiver hauled in a 22-yard completion that pushed him past John Standeford's mark of 3,788 career receiving yards, making him the all-time leader in Big Ten history.\n\nSmith kept going from there. He finished the game with 11 receptions for 117 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown catch with 6:38 remaining in the fourth quarter, as the Buckeyes beat the Wildcats 28-19.\n\nStandeford had held the record for 23 years. Smith has reached the top of the conference's record book in a fraction of that time, continuing a stretch in which he has rewritten multiple receiving marks at Ohio State.\n\nSpeaking after the win, Smith reflected on what it took to get there, telling Fox Sports it was not easy and required a lot of work. With the record now his, the conversation around Smith increasingly centers on how much higher his numbers can climb before his college career is finished.","published_at":"2026-11-14T23:35:28.148707+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Big Ten Receiving King: Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith Continues To Shatter Records","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/jeremiah-smith-ohio-state-big-ten-records-stats"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jeremiah Smith makes unreal history during Ohio State/Northwestern game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jeremiah-smith-makes-unreal-history-204024248.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Buckeyes' Smith continues record haul, adds Big Ten career receiving mark","url":"https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50481134/ohio-state-jeremiah-smith-sets-big-ten-receiving-record"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Another record for Jeremiah Smith: Ohio State star WR breaks Big Ten all-time receiving yards mark","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/jeremiah-smith-ohio-state-big-ten-receiving-yards-record/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith Heisman odds entering Week 11","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ohio-state-wide-receiver-jeremiah-203332748.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith breaks Big Ten all-time receiving yards record","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ohio-state-wr-jeremiah-smith-174248628.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith breaks Big Ten's all-time receiving record against Northwestern","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/ohio-states-jeremiah-smith-breaks-big-tens-all-time-receiving-record-against-northwestern-180612697.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jeremiah Smith sets another record on Saturday","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jeremiah-smith-sets-another-record-182850603.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jeremian Smith becomes Big Ten's all-time leader in receiving yards","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jeremian-smith-becomes-big-tens-191709211.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith tops Heisman odds, see stats vs Northwestern","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ohio-state-wr-jeremiah-smith-214353078.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jeremiah Smith Makes Big Ten History in Week 11 vs. Northwestern","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jeremiah-smith-makes-big-ten-231236119.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
