Young wide receivers are making a huge impact on the college football landscape.

Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams were sensational for their respective teams in 2024 at ages 18 and 17, respectively. It was no different on Saturday.

Smith had four catches for 89 yards and a touchdown in Ohio State's 35-7 win over Iowa, with his touchdown coming in electrifying fashion.

He's caught up to 19 catches for 364 yards and five touchdowns in his first five college games and looks to be a cornerstone prospect for the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Fans took to social media to praise the 18-year-old and project his future.

Jeremiah Smith is simply unreal.

While Smith had an excellent day, Williams continued to show his excellence despite a loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

He made three catches for 82 yards and a touchdown in Alabama's 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt and now has 16 catches for 462 yards and five touchdowns this season.

The fans praised the 17-year-old for his performance.

The debate between the two is valid and while Williams currently has more yards, Smith's team is still undefeated and could overtake the Crimson Tide as the No. 1 team in the country.

Both have plenty of time to establish their greatness at the college level, but it really looks like the sky is the limit for the teenagers.
