It makes Fleming feel good to see Smith-Njigba in the mix. He can’t wait to play with him whenever he sees the field again.
“I feel like it’s a whole different ball game with him. Having him come back will be a whole dynamic for our offense. His game speaks for itself. He’s one of the best receivers in the country. It’s great to see his face in the mix.That’s one of my brothers. I’m excited to play with him. I’m excited for him.”

Harrison on the other hand doesn’t see how defensive coordinators can handle him. When the Ohio State receiving core gets healthy, it’ll be tough to stop.
“I don’t know what you do as a defensive coordinator,” said Harrison. “You gotta pick one and say your prayers. It’s gonna be fun to watch.”
