ATLANTA -- It was third-and-11 with the College Football Playoff National Championship ... the national championship game with wideout Devonte Smith, and the Buckeyes installed it this week ...

Devote Smith was *** 3 sports star here at *** meet football, basketball ... Coach Powell knows that Devonte Smith earned it and is not shocked that he's gotten this far in his career.

College football is loaded with star power ahead ... marked the first non-quarterback Heisman winner since Alabama's DeVonte Smith in 2020 and only the fifth non-quarterback since 2000.
