We are in the 60s! This is good news! Almost two months away from the start of football season! Let's meet today's player.

#69 OL Jake Smith
Redshirt Freshman, 6'5" 287 lbs.

Stats in 2011: Jake sat out last year while redshirting.

Current Spot on Depth Chart: Jake is not listed on the two-deep at any of the five offensive lineman positions on the post-spring depth chart..

How did he come to USF: Jake comes to USF via nearby Bloomingdale High School in Brandon. Smith had offers from Division II schools, but Jake wanted to stay closer to home and decided to walk-on with the Bulls.

Recruiting Rankings: Jake was not given a ranking by either Rivals or Scout.

Projected Playing Time for 2012: Its going to be tough for Jake to jump in and get any significant playing time. Smith's biggest contribution this year will be with the scout team as he continues to learn the college game.
