Asked about his dream car, the answer came easy.\n<\/p>\n \n\t\tJeremiah Smith with the slight flex at F1 Weekend pic.twitter.com\/sMJr5klTwd<\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n \t\u2014 Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) May 3, 2026<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n\t\u201cIt\u2019s always been a Urus, a Lamborghini,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThat was my dream car.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\tWhen the reporter followed up and asked if he planned to buy one anytime soon, Smith paused, let out an \u201cuh,\u201d and laughed.\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cFortunately, I already have it,\u201d he said with a smile. \u201cI just bought it last year in December. I got it last year.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\tA 2026 Lamborghini Urus starts at $280,736. Billed by the manufacturer as \u201cthe most advanced performance SUV currently available,\u201d the Urus Performante<\/a> \u201ctakes the thrills up a notch\u201d with a lower suspension, firmer steel springs and track-ready tires.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n\tSmith can afford a modern supercar because he\u2019s one of the highest-paid players in college football \u2014 and he\u2019s earned every bit of it. In two seasons with the Buckeyes, Smith is a national champion and a unanimous All-American, totaling 163 catches for 2,558 yards and 29 touchdowns.\n<\/p>\n \n\tHe\u2019s earned his stripes. Now he\u2019s reaping the rewards.\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u00a0\u201cI DIDN\u2019T DO ANY OF THAT STUFF.\u201d <\/strong>Last month, Marcus Freeman joined Bussin\u2019 With The Boys<\/a>, the Barstool Sports podcast hosted by Taylor Lewan and Will Compton. Lewan, a former Michigan offensive lineman, asked Freeman if he ever received impermissible tattoos while he was a linebacker at Ohio State.\n<\/p>\n \n\tFreeman didn\u2019t hesitate. He laughed.\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cDid you ask if I ever lost to Michigan? No, I didn\u2019t,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n \n\tPerfect answer.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \n\tNo notes.\n<\/p>\n \n\t\tWhen @TaylorLewan77<\/a> asked Marcus Freeman if he received any impermissible tattoos at Ohio State, the Notre Dame head coach wasnt having it.<\/p>\n I didnt do any of that stuff.<\/p>\n Freeman let Lewan know he never lost to Michigan. Innocent Irish QB CJ Carr had fun with the banter. pic.twitter.com\/JwgwGGV9O8<\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n \t\u2014 Tyler Horka (@tbhorka) April 17, 2026<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n\tTo his credit, Freeman eventually addressed the question. But first, his quarterback, CJ Carr, chimed in and asked what Lewan and Freeman were even talking about \u2014 he\u2019d never heard of \u201cTattoogate.\u201d Freeman smiled and joked that Carr\u2019s grandfather, former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr, and his father, former Wolverines quarterback Jason Carr, would be more familiar with it.\n<\/p>\n \n\tCompton tried again.\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBut when that came out, were you kind of like, \u2018Oh man, we were doing X, Y and Z with memorabilia and tattoos?\u2019\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cNo, I didn\u2019t do any of that stuff,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cI got a wedding ring.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThat\u2019s it?\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cYes.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\tLewan wasn\u2019t done.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBut there were guys you were friends with that had tattoos?\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if they paid, I don\u2019t know if they exchanged \u2014\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cYou didn\u2019t hang out with your teammates?\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI did, but I don\u2019t know,\u201d Freeman said, laughing. \u201cCan we move on to the next question?\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\tHe closed it out by saying that even if he did know anything, he\u2019d take it to his grave.\n<\/p>\n \n\tHonorable.\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u00a0ALL HANDS ON DECK.<\/strong> Five-star running back David Gabriel Georges <\/a>is a can\u2019t-miss prospect in the 2027 class. The Buckeyes are treating him that way, as Ryan Day sent his entire offensive staff to visit Georges at Baylor School (Chattanooga, Tennessee) on Monday.\n<\/p>\n \n\t\tOhio State assistants Arthur Smith, Carlos Locklyn, Cortez Hankton, Keenan Bailey and Tyler Bowen all made it to Chattanooga (Tenn.) Baylor School to see five-star running back David Gabriel Georges.
