Backup RB's effort keeps eyes on him

FAYETTEVILLE -- Running back Trelon Smith took playing on the scout-team offense for the University of Arkansas seriously.

"Trelon brings it every day," Arkansas cornerback Montaric Brown said last season when Smith redshirted after transferring from Arizona State. "It's no question, he's got great effort every day, smile on his face.

"Oh, I think he's pretty great."

Smith said he was determined to make the most of his redshirt season.

"Last year during that time, I just decided that I was going to be the best player that I could be, knowing that I couldn't play," Smith said.
