The Hunt for the FCS Scoring Title - Drew Smith

[danefan]

This has flown under the radar around here but Drew Smith currently leads the nation in scoring with 12.86 point per game.

 

Through 7 games his numbers are awesome:

 

680 rushing yards and 14 TDs for 97 yrds per game and 5.44 yards per carry.

168 receiving yards for 1 TD

 

He has a TD in every game this year and has a streak of back-to-back-to-back 3 TD games against Monmouth, Bryant and St. Francis.

 

 

If he stays on this pace, he'll end up with 1000+ yards rushing and 23 TDs in the regular season.

 

An absolutely great year so far for a kid that arguably is the most complete player and perhaps one of the nicest people to ever come through this program.

Anybody know if scouts have been going to see Drew?

I understand they've been there every week for Jon Morgan and some have expressed interest in Drew. He's got NFL size but doesn't necessarily have the speed. There have certainly been NFL RBs that are slower than he is, but they played at big time schools and didn't need gaudy numbers to get a chance.

I'm glad you posted this Danefan, it's pretty cool. I've pinned it so we can update it each week.

 

Next closest guy on the list is Aaron Mellette, a WR from Elon.

Glad I could write Singleas article for him the week. Il expect his weekly paycheck in the mail.

Must be the "cover jinx?" Now tied for second in the country.

How's he ranking in fumbles?

[danefan]

FYI - Drew ended up 4th in scoring with 19 total TDs for 11.4 pts per game.

 

A great accomplishment to end a great career.

 

He could get a chance on Sunday's next year.

Wyland just reported that Drew has signed with local agents JR Sports Enterprises, hoping to get an NFL contract next year.
