New Story: Shaq Smith on not playing: "Things always come on time"

Shaq Smith on not playing: "Things always come on time"

Five-stars don’t expect to redshirt, but freshman linebacker Shaq Smith has embraced the challenge and learned more than a few lessons along the way. One of those lessons is patience. Full Story »

The Shaq Attack is going to be awesome in 2017!!!


Jan 18, 2017, 8:29 AM

Tiger D is going to be nasty again!!

Time to unleash that beast!

Wow, Shaq! Great job in the classroom too! As much as I know it may be viewed as a setback, getting settled in all the non-football stuff will pay off too. Great job making the most out of the situation, and that GPA is something to be proud of. Good luck, and I look forward to watching you play!

The kid is going to be a MONSTER if he has Greenbean's scheme down.

Sounds like a good character guy


Jan 18, 2017, 8:46 AM

a 5 star non-offensive lineman redshirting???....anywhere else and he's a transfer. Especially since another 5 star LB Tre Lamar was getting reps and starter on special teams. But Smith built up that GPA, soaked up knowledge and will contend for a starting spot with 4 more years to play.

I agree. A lesser person or more of a diva would have said "play me or I'm gone!" I am glad he embraced his learning experience and I am sure he will be a better player and person because of it.

I think he is admitting that he is or was more of the diva type but has learned from it. There were comments made by the coaches where you could read a bit into them and learn that initially he wasn't real happy with the redshirt.

I was wondering how this was playing out behind the scenes, because you never know. But I'm glad he's still all in. I also wish they would interview more often the young guys, redshirts, and the scout team guys that will probably never see any significant playing time.

He has absolutely transformed his body in the power hour.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I expect him to come out swinging this season


Jan 18, 2017, 9:33 AM

He is going to be an amazing player and leader for our defense. Tre + Shaq is going to be a nightmare for opposing offenses.

I think we have we have an embryonic Ben Boulware on our hands!

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If Ben was 6'3", 250lbs, faster and quicker, then yes.


Jan 18, 2017, 9:36 AM

They are nothing alike physically or playstyle. Ben is completely downhill where Shaq has unbelievable sideline to sideline abilities. Shaq is much more similar to Stephone Anthony. Freak athlete. 3-down LB.

I agree. And with Joseph, O'Daniel, and Lamar back in the fall, I think the Tiger line backing group will be very strong. The D should be one of the very best in the country.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think we will be hearing his name a lot


Jan 18, 2017, 10:23 AM

He will be explosive

Really excited to see this young man play. Going to be a good one.

I ran into him last year before the season started. He is a wonderful person to talk to. A glowing personality!! He's been my favorite ever since

Ooooooouuuu I cannot wait to see Shaq Smith making it happen on the field! He's going to be next-level.

Grown Man!


Jan 18, 2017, 11:03 AM

This young man has developed into an even more impressive specimen. The extra year really seems to have helped him mature into a great looking prospect who I'd bet will be a stud on this defense. This is gonna be fun to watch!

He and Tre Lamar are going to be a remarkable tandem on the field for a couple of years , maybe 3 !
