The 6-foot-6, 205-pound Smith is ranked as the fourth-best athlete in the 2018 recruiting class and is the No. 4 prospect out of Ohio. Nationally, the receiver ranks at No. 119, according to 247Sports.
This is another addition to an already-stacked Ohio State class. The Buckeyes currently own the No. 1 recruiting class for 2018. Smith becomes the 17th player to commit, with 15 having either four-star or five-star rankings.
