Jeremiah Smith Says He’d Be at Miami If the Hurricanes Were Where They Are Now

As we all know, Miami fans wanted badly to keep Jeremiah Smith home. That never happened, and Smith has already spent two seasons at Ohio State.

But during today’s College Football Playoff Cotton Bowl press conferences, Smith admitted something that will grab the attention of Hurricanes fans.

Smith said that if Miami was where it is right now back when he signed with Ohio State, he believes he would’ve ended up at Miami.

Smith was asked, “If Miami had won more or played in games like this during your high school career, would you be a Hurricane right now?”

Here’s exactly what he said:

“Most likely, yeah, I’d have probably ended up at Miami if things were on the right track then. But I chose to stick with Ohio State.”

Now, Smith will get the chance to play against his home state when Ohio State faces Miami on December 31st in the College Football Playoff Cotton Bowl.

This may be my first ever Jeremiah Smith post in forever, because I never thought he was coming here.

But my heart rate doesn’t even skip a beat whenever I read comments like this because, seriously, who gives a **** what he has to say. This **** will be settled on field. I just don’t get worked up over this ****.

I rarely use these words, fnkc him. I know I’m not the program, but as a fan, I don’t want him even if came in for free. He’d be pure poison to our program if he were here. His attitude is nothing to marvel about. So yeah fnkc him. Please stay at the program you chose. At least we’ll respect you for that.

Same like fk that guy man. These mofos leave and still want VIP treatment from the hometown. Im not gonna disagree if someone gets him to return but i dont care either way. We coulda had an all timer last season if he came in as that #1 flank WR. He chose elsewhere and now he the opp. I want someone to lay his *** out across the middle.

If he couldn’t be here to help win, we don’t want him here enjoying our winning ways here. Him and wherever TF he is, it’s a match made in heaven. Stay there.

Facts, a current player saying that. I thought he bled Suckeyes 4 life? Not someone telling the tale after NFL retirement on a podcast, he is currently on the team saying this. This a bad look 100%

He's got one more year where he can join the good guys.

Pair mali with cam Coleman and let’s ride. Won’t even remember his name

But for real so much respect for a guy like Wes cause he came here and endured bad years after seeing bad football. Mali atleast witnessed a 10 win season

He didn’t want to build anything.

Although unlikely, I think the best path to him coming here is Bailey coming and then appealing to JS to rep the crib for his last season. Not likely, but there have certainly been crazier things that have happened.

He made his choice. He opted to not stay home and rep the "State of Miami". He's not the first and won't be the last. Like all the others.....

I just have so much more respect for guys like Fletcher, Bain, Toney, Fitzgerald, Bissmisthe, and a host of others who wanted to make the U relevent again, as opposed to taking the easier route to playing in the natty.

No respect for the players that leave but still want the hometown love. It don’t work that way. You chose your side and it wasn’t with us. If Miami wanted you and you said no thanks, you’re dead to me

He’d be a bigger name if he was here, but he made his choice will beat their *** on Wednesday and he’ll regret his choice years from now not right now because he has a national championship but years from now
