L’Christian “Blue” Smith is already proving he belongs in the scarlet and gray.

Smith, a 2018 Ohio State commit, made a spectacular game-winning catch on Friday night. With time running out, Wayne High School (Ohio) was tied with Fairmont High School 28-28 with time winding down. That’s when Wayne quarterback Rashad McKee launched a 39-yard pass to the end zone towards his top receiver.

From afar, the pass appeared to be intercepted. But zoom in, and you see the pass was actually deflected by a Fairmont defender before Smith came away with an incredible catch.

Bonus Sports captured the moment. You really just have to see this unbelievable play.

The catch came with 14 seconds left and propelled Wayne to a 35-28 win.

Smith is a four-star recruit and is a member of Ohio State’s top-ranked recruiting class. He’s ranked as the No. 6 athlete in the class and is a top 10 player out of Ohio, according to 247 Sports.

Clearly he’s ready to start catching passes as a Buckeye.
