Smith Reveals Alabama Was Dream School

Smith shared during Big Ten Media Days that Alabama under Nick Saban was his childhood dream school. "Growing up, my dream school was Alabama when Nick Saban was there. But they wasn't recruiting me," he said. The All-American was pursued by multiple powerhouse programs including Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Miami before committing to Ohio State.

Smith's decision to commit early to Ohio State may have ended Alabama's recruitment efforts. Since joining the Buckeyes, Smith has established himself as one of college football's premier receivers, earning Freshman of the Year, Big Ten Receiver of the Year twice, and becoming a Biletnikoff Award finalist. He returns for a third season with a talented receiving corps as Ohio State prepares for another run at the College Football Playoff. freshyourfeel.org
