RB Robert Smith (B1G Freshman of Year, 2x Pro Bowler, All Pro)

Trivia: Never knew this about Smith.....

Robert Smith Claims He Was The First Ohio State NFL Player To Say “The”

You’ve heard it a lot over the years.


A former Ohio State football player introduces himself during an NFL broadcast and concludes his introduction with an emphatic, “The Ohio State University.”

Who started that tradition?

Apparently, it was former Buckeye running back Robert Smith.

“It is true,” Smith said on the Big Ten Network earlier this week. “It was the official name of the university and they made a point in around 1994 to emphasize it.”
