Jeremiah Smith should skip rest of Ohio State's season, former national champion says: 'Nothing to gain'

Former national champion Damien Harris has advised Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith to sit out the remainder of the Buckeyes' season, arguing that Smith has 'nothing to gain' by continuing to play. Harris believes the standout pass-catcher risks more than he stands to benefit, likely referencing Smith's high NFL Draft prospects and injury risk. The recommendation reflects a growing trend of top college prospects opting out of games to protect their future professional value.
