I feel absolutely awful for Tago Smith.
If any Naval Academy student-athlete deserved an extra year of eligibility, it was this young man.
Smith made a massive personal sacrifice for the good of the Navy football program by willingly serving as backup to record-setting quarterback Keenan Reynolds for three years.
Smith is an extremely talented player who would have seen significant action at slotback during his career. Head coach Ken Niumatalolo has also said Smith's combination of speed, quickness and athleticism could have been utilized as a kickoff or punt returner as well.
