All eyes are on Ito Smith as the Golden Eagles gear up for the 2017 football season.
The senior running back from Mobile, Alabama racked up multiple accolades during the offseason after rushing for 1,459 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2016. In addition to being named to the C-USA Preseason All-Conference team for the second straight year, Smith was also named to the Maxwell Award and Doak Walker Award watch lists. Those awards are given at the end of every season to the best player and best running back in college football, respectively.
“All you got to do is just come out and watch him every Saturday,” said Head Coach Jay Hopson.
