Jaxon Smith-Njigba Breaks Ohio State Single-Season Receptions Record


After catching seven passes for 185 yards in the first half of Saturday’s Rose Bowl to set the school single-season record for receiving yards, Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba added four more receptions in the second half to set the school record for receptions in a single season.

A former five-star prospect from Rockwall, Texas, Smith-Njigba now has 91 catches on the season, passing former wide receiver Parris Campbell, who caught 90 passes during the 2018 season. 

Smith-Njigba has caught 11 passes for a Rose Bowl and school single-game record 287 yards and two touchdowns. Ohio State trails Utah, 38-31, with a little more than 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
