We all know how extraordinarily talented Ohio State receiver, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is. We’ve been a witness since the fall of 2020 when he hauled in a ridiculous tightrope catch as a freshman against Nebraska. And of course the record-breaking performance in the Rose Bowl earlier this year. But apparently, Jaxon isn’t the only one in the Smith-Njigba family with athletic prowess.
Jaxon’s older brother, Canaan Smith-Njigba, has been called up to the major leagues today. The elder brother has been with the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians, an affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates have liked what they have seen so far and will give the outfielder a chance to prove he belongs.
Assuming he plays, this will be Canaan Smith-Njigba’s MLB debut.
