Janson Smith ‘14 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

My name is Janson Smith,
I gradated from Tulsa's Union High School class of 2014. I know right from wrong, I just made poor decisions in the 9th and 10th grade resulting in me graduating with a 2.0. I did not realize till my 11th grade year that I loved the game of football and that to play this game the first thing I have to do is make the grades. I got my act together and made the grades to play my last two years in high school but, it was too late as far as recruiting went after my senior year as I saw my past come back to haunt me. I am now at a junior college (Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College). I have matured to a higher level since I have been here. I am coming off a torn ACL from February of 2014 but that did not stop me as i returned to the field as a true freshman 4 months later. The moral of the story is that I have learned from my past mistakes, I have fallen quite a bit but, I will not give up on what I have the most passion to succeed in, that is life and football.
