After attending all six of Ohio State’s big man camps at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center this summer to get in as much work as he could with Larry Johnson, Will Smith Jr. is already seeing the payoff one game into his senior season at Dublin Coffman High School.
“Definitely, definitely, definitely,” Smith said after Dublin Coffman’s season-opening 14-7 win over St. John’s Jesuit. “I feel like I've learned so much, it's helped me so much from last season to this season.”
Asked specifically how going through drills with Johnson has helped him become a better defensive lineman, Smith says he thinks his lateral quickness and bend have improved.
