DEL.ICIO.USDouglass DT Garrison Smith could get Ohio State offer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Douglass defensive tackle Garrison Smith has a connection that reaches to Columbus, Ohio, but he only recently found out about it.
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound junior has 16 scholarship offers, including Georgia and Georgia Tech. He expects to add Ohio State to the list. “Yeah, the Buckeyes,” he said excitedly Sunday night.
The potential offer has come through a connection from one of the Douglass assistant coaches who knows a member of the Ohio State staff. He provided the program with highlight video of Smith.
Smith called Ohio State safeties coach Paul Haynes and chatted about Smith’s talents and the school’s interest in him.
“They loved my highlight tape and they’re waiting on my transcripts,” said Smith, who has a 3.5 grade-point average and a 1,280 score on the SAT. “Then they said they would offer me.”
Smith, whose brother Greg Smith is a senior A-back at Georgia Tech, said he wasn’t ready to narrow down his offers list. He has offers from most of the SEC and several ACC schools. “I like all the schools,” he said.
Smith also is expecting offers, perhaps this week, from Oklahoma, USC and Miami.

the only reason why greg smith is even on the team is for the shot to land his younger brother.
greg smith totally stinks… his bro on the other hand is a stud.
too bad his brother won’t be around next year when he actually commits so its not like he’s got a shot to actually play with his brother.
tech doesn’t have a shot at getting a “real” talent

Go to OSU, win 11 games, 3 being automatic, with Akron, Ohio U,and Kent State, and then on Jan 1st you’ll feel humiliated every time you line up against the SEC! Is that what you want to get yourself into young man?
