Smart, an All-SEC safety and All-SEC Academic selection while in Georgia’s business school, no doubt has a plan in place that’s all about providing an experience student-athletes will embrace.

It’s recruiting 101, and in a very short period of time, Smart has proven among the best.

Under Smart’s direction the Bulldogs, have built a better support staff to develop players for NFL futures, improved facilities and now provided travels to marquee venues. The school, meanwhile, has vaulted into the Top 15 of public colleges.
