Ohio State recruits the top high school players all across the country every season. Prep Tracker will provide a weekly glimpse into how each Ohio State commitment performs.

 

OFFENSIVE CHAMPION: JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA, WR, 2020

Once again Jaxon Smith-Njigba put on a standout performance in a win or go home playoff situation. Smith-Njigba had six total touchdowns accounting for 36 of his teams 59 points. These types of games have become the norm for Smith-Njigba especially in the playoffs where he has an inexperienced Rockwall team in the final four of the toughest level of Texas high school football.

He is also doing it in a variety of ways whether it be the long ball or short catches and long runs after Smith-Njigba just puts on a show. It is only fitting that the week after he is awarded his fifth star by Rivals.com he has another six touchdown game.

Despite all the yards and touchdowns, it is possible that Smith-Njigba's most eye-catching play was this release, just wow.

 JULIAN FLEMING CAPS A RECORD-SETTING CAREER

While Smith-Njigba put on a show Julian Fleming's game and career can not go without mentioning. In his final game at Southern Columbia high Area High School, five-star wide receiver Julian Fleming had another 100-yard receiving game and multiple touchdown games. 

While Fleming's career receiving stats are great in their own right his most amazing stat may be that his career record is 63-1 with three state championships. Fleming is a great player as are many other Ohio State commit but what is most impressive is the number of winners Ryan Day has recruited to Columbus.
