Saw on Twitter that Jeremiah Smith is opting out for the rest of the season…
I know this isn’t ND related, but it could open up the Heisman for Carr.

Level 1
It certainly got ugly yesterday.
Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame
Invincibility with no vulnerability-
Level 2
Can't blame his being angry
Right now, he has a MAC-level quarterback throwing to him. Luke Fahey isn't horrible, but he's an underdeveloped true freshman who needs another year of strength and conditioning, along with an off season of coaching before he's truly ready.
The tOSU faithful were hoping that Tavian St. Clair would be ready as a true sophomore, in case if Sayin couldn't play, and that didn't pan out.
St. Clair has a freakishly high ceiling, being 6' 4", 230 lbs of solid muscle, and can heave the ball 70 yards without any real effort.
The only problem is that he hasn't developed enough in the mental game to run Day's offense.
Even though Jeremiah Smith still producing good numbers, it's frustrating for him, that he knows he should be producing even better ones.
Ryan Day had a chance to bring in any number of upper echelon transfer portal QB's, but chose not to do so.
With regards to the QB's they did bring in, the fact that neither Justyn Martin nor Brady Geibel (FCS) could beat out Fahey shows how bad the QB situation is over there.

He’s a generational player, so I doubt his wonderlic test results will matter

Most likely, yes
The amount he'd forfeit, though, would be chump change compared to his NFL contract and endorsements.
Jeremiyah Love got a $15 million / year contract last year, and I'd expect Jeremiah Smith to command even more.

Level 1
Nothing to lose by sitting out
It's almost a guarantee that they won't make the playoffs, especially since Julian Sayin is out for the year.
Also, tOSU's offensive line isn't nearly as good as last year's.
While I'm sure he'd love to win the Heisman Trophy, that prestige is rather minuscule compared to the 15+ million a year he'd be making as a NFL player.
He has nothing left to prove, since he already carried that 2024 team to a national championship as a true freshman.

Anybody could have predicted that he was gone after yesterday.
Lose to BC, SMU, or Cuse and CJ and Leonard will opt out too.
