Take a bow, Zach Smith.
Ohio State's Wide Receivers Coach — who also captured Scout's Big Ten Recruiter of the Year award — has been named Rivals' Big Ten Recruiter of the Year as well.
Smith had said in self-evaluations he wanted to improve his recruiting, and boy was 2014 a big year for him. He was instrumental in landing commitments from Jalyn Holmes and Johnnie Dixon. He also helped the Buckeyes land commitments from four-stars Noah Brown and Terry McLaurin.
Not a bad way to respond to Urban Meyer's challenge to get better on the recruiting trail or for a guy who is still a crisp 29-years-young.
