The father of an Ohio State football commit called out fans for slandering Jeremiah Smith and Georgia

Currently the No. 1 player in the 2024 college football class, Jeremiah Smith remains committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes. However, the Georgia Bulldogs remain hopeful that Smith will change his mind and ultimately decide to take his talents to Georgia instead of Columbus. The prospect has also left football fans searching for Smith online, to the point where the father of one Ohio State football commit was forced to speak out and defend Smith.

Kenyatta Jackson Sr., father of Ohio State football player Kenyatta Jackson, said that people should end tell Smith what to do.

I have a huge problem with grown adults whose child mindset is trash talk. The 17-year-old kid is enjoying his recruiting experiences, which he can do whatever he wants. What’s wrong with yall clowns. @Jermiah_Smith1 keep laughing at these clownish young men

Smith gave his commitment to Ohio State football back last December, but that hasn’t made Buckeyes fans feel comfortable about his true desire to play for the program, especially since his visit to Georgia. In addition to Georgia, Smith also received offers from other major programs such as the Tennessee Volunteers, Colorado Buffaloes, Michigan Wolverines, TCU Horned Frogs, Texas Longhorns and Alabama Crimson Tide.

However, Smith, who is also the cousin of current Seattle Seahawks quarterback and former West Virginia Mountaineers star Geno Smith, has tried to allay fears among Ohio State football fans about him being fired from the program.
