Running the football has come easy for Southern Miss in recent years.
Especially for Ito Smith. The senior, who came into the 2017 season ranked fourth on the school’s all-time rushing yards list, has made a name for himself as one of the most productive running backs in the country. He’s the only active FBS player with more than 3,000 yards rushing and more than 1,000 yards receiving. And if he gains 840 more yards on the ground this season, Smith would be just the 10th player in NCAA history to cross the 4,000 yards rushing plateau with 1,000-plus receiving yards.
