PROVO — Jacob Smith is hoping his time at BYU ends up far better than it began.
The 6-foot-7, 308-pound offensive lineman was making his final round of camp visits, just prior to his high school season as a junior in the summer of 2016. BYU happened to be that final round, and after just a half hour of working out he incurred a broken foot.
He showed up again the next day hobbled, and depressed about the circumstances, but was soon greeted with some good news of a scholarship offer.
