Smith finally enjoyed a full senior season in 2017 and was one of the area’s best football players. Western Kentucky took notice, and now he’ll have the chance to become a Hilltopper.
The Glasgow High School standout Smith has agreed to grayshirt for coach Mike Sanford’s WKU program. He’ll take classes this fall at WKU’s Glasgow campus, then join the Toppers in the spring of 2019 as a freshman wide receiver on a full football scholarship.
Friends, family members, teachers, coaches and teammates crowded into the Glasgow HS cafeteria Thursday to honor Smith. He teared up at one point thanking his parents during a short speech.
