Hue Jackson Celebrates with Smith's Family

Jackson joined Smith in a 360 spinning video booth to announce his commitment via social media.  

Smith sent me message, "And it feels so good.  I have received nothing but continuous love and support on my decision from family, friends, coaches, and fans."

It's been a difficult few weeks for Smith and his family.  His father and grandmother died during the time he committed to Grambling.  My prayer and concern are for Edward Smith and his loved ones.  Especially, with the challenges of college and football ahead in the Fall.

 

Grambling has assembled an impressive 2022 class of recruits, transfer portal athletes, and JUCO players.
