COLUMBUS — Ohio State football’s partnership with Nike is well-documented, but one of the Buckeyes’ best players has inked a name, image and likeness deal with a top competitor.

Smith joins a strong roster of Adidas football athletes, led by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Jaguars WR/DB Travis Hunter most recently signed with the brand after his Heisman Trophy campaign with Colorado, with Abdul Carter, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Chris Jones, Trevor Lawrence and Michael Penix Jr. also a part of the football roster.

His strong season also presumably led to him receiving a substantial amount of money in the NIL department. According to On3, Smith possesses an NIL Valuation of $4.2 million and has inked deals with brands such as Nintendo, Red Bull, Lululemon and most recently Adidas, which was announced on Wednesday.
