Which college football team does LeBron James support? 4x NBA Champ voices support for Big Ten team
LA Lakers superstar LeBron James is a supporter of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Recently, the star NBA player made it known that he couldn't wait to see the Buckeyes commit Jeremiah Smith to play for the Big Ten school. He shared his desire through his Twitter account, with the following tweet:
"Can’t wait to see him in Scarlet & Gray"
According to 247 Sports, Smith is a 5-star prospect for the Buckeyes. He was also pursued by Florida State, Florida, Georgia, and Miami. Andrew Ivins, director of scouting for 247 Sports, had this to say about the prospect:
"One of the most talented wide receiver prospects to come out of South Florida in the modern recruiting era ... Should be viewed as one of the top offensive playmakers in the 2024 cycle and a potential WR1 for a College Football Playoff regular."
"Will need to keep mastering all of the little things, but is already well ahead of the curve, which could lead to early playing time on Saturdays. NFL upside."
It's no wonder James is excited to see him play.
