Boise State roster countdown 2018: Day 12, Riley Smith

One dozen days left until the promised land, guys!

#12, Riley Smith, freshman, quarterback

Height: 6’4”

Weight: 206

High School: Bartram Trail High School, St. Augustine, Florida

How’d he get to The BlueTM?

Riley came to Boise State as one of the late adds from the most recent recruiting class. He signed the same day as Dallas Holliday and a 4 star tight end in Tyneil Hopper that turned down an offer from some school in the south called ‘Alabama’...or something. A three-star prospect himself, Riley Smith played in a two-QB system alongside an eventual Auburn commit and piled up 1,495 passing yards, 633 rushing yards, and 26 total TDs (18 passing, 8 rushing) en route to the school’s first appearance in the state title game, where they ultimately fell to Venice.
