No. 1-ranked prospect Jeremiah Smith sets another Florida Gators visit
Not one but multiple five-star prospects will be in attendance for UF’s game against Charlotte.
The latest addition is Jeremiah Smith, an Ohio State commit and the No. 1-ranked prospect overall.
Smith’s father told Gators Online’s Keith Niebuhr about the visit this afternoon.
Flipping Smith away from the Buckeyes is going to be extremely difficult, but the likes of Florida, Miami, Florida State and Georgia are still in the picture and receiving visits from the wide receiver.
Florida is telling Smith he can be a program-changer and that is very appealing to him. Having elite quarterback DJ Lagway on board definitely helps as well. This is a generational talent on the perimeter who would likely be a day-one starter at the Swamp.

Scouting Report on Jeremiah Smith
One of the more talented and well-rounded receiver prospects in recent cycles. The highest-rated wide receiver prospect from Florida in well over a decade.
A big, skilled receiver with fluidity and savvy for the position. Measured in at 6-foot-3 and around 200 pounds with a 32.5-inch arm prior to his senior season. Had a breakout junior season, catching 58 passes for 1,073 yards and 20 touchdowns while leading Chaminade-Madonna to a state title.
A very polished route-runner at this stage with rare ability to change directions at his size. Smooth mover with technical refinement that allows for separation. Regularly stacks cornerbacks off the line.
Pairs his route-running ability with advanced ball skills. Has strong hands and comes down with catches in traffic. A high-level ball tracker with the ability to locate the football over his shoulder. Capable of making fantastic one-handed grabs. Also flashes ability after the catch. Has the size to run through contact and a long stride to pull away in the open field.
Also a strong track athlete winning state titles in the 110 meter and 400 meter hurdles as a junior.
An extremely well-rounded prospect with a high floor and ceiling. Looks like a prototypical X wide receiver prospect with considerable traits and skills that point to an upside as a high draft pick.
