Smith isn’t the first athlete at a Nike school to ink such a deal — women’s basketball star Hailey Van Lith did so while at LSU, for example — but he is likely the most notable standout to do so while actively playing at the collegiate level.

Ohio State star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has signed an NIL deal with a surprising shoe company, according to a post on social media.

His strong season also presumably led to him receiving a substantial amount of money in the NIL department. According to On3, Smith possesses an NIL Valuation of $4.2 million and has inked deals with brands such as Nintendo, Red Bull, Lululemon and most recently Adidas, which was announced on Wednesday.
