Georgia football: Roquan Smith is defensive kryptonite
Put Roquan Smith on defense, and everything stops. Smith is defensive kryptonite for Georgia football, and the 225 pound rock’s power is speed.
Roquan Smith’s personal drama on 2015’s National Signing Day signing day in Montezuma, Georgia, became the biggest Georgia football recruitment story since Herschel Walker’s signing on Easter morning in1980.
Smith first announced at his signing day press conference he would play his college ball in the Rose Bowl for UCLA. Smith changed his mind, and in the only game he played in the Rose Bowl, Smith earned the defensive player of the game honors as a Bulldog for his effort in the Georgia football team’s 54-48 double overtime win against Oklahoma.
