On January 16th UND.com posted an article "20 Questions for Notre Dame Football for
2015". This is question 12.
12. Sophomore linebacker Jaylon Smith
was the most decorated Irish player in 2014 as a second-team Associated Press
All-American, and he’s arguably the most talented all-around athlete on the
roster. Originally an outside linebacker, Smith was moved inside in 2014 after
the graduation loss of Dan Fox
and Carlo
Calabrese combined with the Jarrett
Grace injury issues. Wherever he
plays in 2015, can Smith become the dominant defensive player on the field
every Saturday?
Answer; Yes.
It's really that simple of an answer.
I believe that Smith would be best at an outside linebacker position but
he could easily have the position of "football player" next to his
name in the program. He has a great nose
for the ball, he always seems to end up around at the end of the play. The truly scary thing about Jaylon is that he
still has two more years of eligibility although we will most likely only see
him in South Bend for one more.
