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

The Ohio State Buckeyes may be Nike through and through but one of their biggest stars just inked an NIL deal with the swoosh's biggest rival. On Wednesday, All-American wideout Jeremiah Smith reportedly signed on with adidas Football as the latest athlete to join the three stripes.

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.
