There's gotta be some sort of backdoor connection between someone in his life and JD, no? 

I’m not sure. Maybe? Smith is originally from Texas. Might just be a case of taking a shot at a good player and see what happens.

Brookhart brought a lot of good JUCO WR's to Akron during his first go-around. Deryn Bowser and Jeremy LaFrance come to mind. He also got David Harvey for 1 year (5-star Frosh. from Penn Hills with mad skills, and no desire to go to class).

 

Worked with Antonio Bryant and Larry Fitzgerald at Pitt. Guy knows elite WR's.

David Harvey..... on the Zips folklore of what could of been. Hixon graduated to the NFL and Harvey came in and blew everyone away. I believe he averaged over 20 yrds a catch. 

He was amazing as a Freshman. Too bad things didn't work out.

Garrison was Mc Neese’s regular kicker last season. 8-10 fig’s and 23-23 pats. Hit at least 1 50 yarder. 
 

McNeese was 1-10 last season. 

 

At least we are 100% better than McNeese with a 2-10 record. 😀

To my knowledge we haven’t offered yet, but linebacker Rodney Groce is in the portal. We offered him out of JUCO before he chose UTSA. Committed to Miss. State out of HS and was an All-American JUCO LB. Something to keep an eye on.

And another player we brought in for a visit this past year (before committing to North Texas) hit the portal. Former JUCO DL Rodney Green. See if anything picks up here.

And another former JUCO DL we offered last year is in the portal. Josh Valdez committed to Marshall, but never visited Akron. See if another offer is extended.

Didn't he originally commit to WVU?

I believe he was committed to Toledo before his recruiting took off and signed with Kentucky.

 

Edit: Went back and did a little digging. He ran a 4.48 at a UA camp. Track speed doesn’t always correlate to the football field, but that’s impressive for a guy 6’3” 190lbs. He certainly looks fast on film, so enough of that speed must carry over.
