Alabama receiver DeVonta Smith a semifinalist for Walter Camp Award

It has been a remarkable year for the junior at wide receiver.

DeVonta Smith is seeing his hard work pay off. As one of the leaders in a special group at Alabama, the Louisiana native is not talked about much. He quietly goes about his business; however, those who compete against him know how dynamic he is.

The 6-foot-1, 175-pounder became the favorite weapon of his quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, and even with him hurt – Mac Jones understands that Smith believes in him too. A four-star in the 2017 class, Smith recorded two game-winning touchdown receptions – including the 41-yard miracle from Tagovailoa in the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship (2017 season) versus Georgia in Atlanta.
