Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz spoke with OSU star WR Jeremiah Smith on behalf of Red Bull.

View more Video Transcript Jason Fitz with Yahoo Sports hanging out with Ohio State superstar Jeremiah Smith joining us. On behalf of Red Bull. We'll get to Red Bull. We got questions about how you get your wings, but first, we got to talk about some football. Uh, the difference today, cause you've taken the college football world by storm. All of us covering it watch you every day. We scream about the highlights. How different do you feel today going into this season than you did last year? Uh, I feel pretty good about going into this season, um, you know, coming in as a freshman, you know, everything coming fast at you. Um, but this year, um, I feel like everything is slowed down for me and I'll be able to, you know, play faster and better than what I did last year, I should say. New offensive coordinator, new quarterback, how much difference does that make to your day in, day out? Uh, nothing different, uh, you know, we got, you know, recruited two good quarterbacks, uh, you know, Coach Harlan became the OC, so I think we're in a pretty good space right now. Pressure last year also fell on the shoulders of Ryan Day. Felt like everybody with the microphone had a big opinion on Ryan Day's got to win an Adie, right? Like, have you seen just a difference in the overall vibe from your head coach now that he has that title? Uh, I mean, a little bit, uh, nothing too crazy, but you know everything he done, you know, calmed down a little bit, not too tense, um. But yeah, nothing too crazy, nothing changed really. I mean, he did it. I felt a little bit. You guys will step on the field week one against Texas. So no preseason, no opportunity to work out the kinks. How does that feel for you going in right away to a matchup? Everybody's going to be obsessed with? Yeah, I mean, we gotta be ready. I mean we got Kemp coming up and, you know, 34 days. Uh, we just got to be ready. We gotta have a better camp than Texas have. Uh, that's really all that come down to whoever work have a better camp and whoever's ready and Come prepared. Y'all hear all the attention that Archer's getting? Yeah, we hear all of it, we're all of it. That's all you gotta say. Like you, you hear it. So you're joining us on behalf of Red Bull. This is always interesting to me because I worked for a long time with Harry Douglas who played in the NFL, and I found out the weirdest thing about Harry Douglas. I love him like a brother, but my guy always drank Sprite during football games. Like during the football game, they replaced. his drinks with Sprite. He drinks more Sprite than anybody I've ever met. So I'm just wondering, like, like, obviously Red Bull's giving you your wings, but are you sneaking any during the game? Like, what's, what's the Red Bull routine like? Yeah, I got to sneaking in a game or when it got to. Is there a favorite flavor? I like all of them, so nothing too crazy. I like them all. Look at that right down the middle, like down the middle. Close

Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith makes a major award watch list
Rejoice, college football fans! It's preseason watch list time, and one of the biggest ones announced its preseason watch list on Monday, and there is indeed an Ohio State football player on it. The Maxwell Award has been handed out annually since 1937 and goes to the players judged to be the best in college football. The award announced 80 names, and OSU wide receiver Jeremiah Smith was included (to nobody's surprise). Four Ohio State players have taken home the award that is handed out by the Maxwell Football Club since its inception. Howard "Hopalong" Cassidy won it in 1955, fullback Bob Ferguson took it home in 1961, Heisman winner Archie Griffin won in 1975, and Eddie George was the last to hold the Maxwell in 1995. Obviously, being on the preseason watch list means little because names can be added and culled down as the season goes on, but you have to be on the list at some point to win it, so Smith has that going for him. The superstar wide receiver hauled in 76 receptions for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns last season and had some of his biggest moments during the College Football Playoff national championship run. He should be poised to have another phenomenal year this fall as well as appointment television.
