Few 2016 football players can claim interest from a small college, let alone a high-major FBS program. Tight end Kaden Smith (Flower Mound, Texas/Marcus) has two FBS heavyweights already on his radar.
Smith, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound freshman, has yet to play a varsity down, but he already has had contact with Alabama and Florida State. Smith put his name out with nice summer-camp performances at both schools, and he is looking to make himself a household name in Texas high school football for the next four seasons.
Smith’s name circulated around the state on Friday after Marcus’ efforts in a scrimmage against nationally ranked Dallas Skyline. Against a Skyline unit with five FBS defensive commits – and seven FBS commits total – Smith had three catches for 30 yards and showed versatility as both a blocker and a pass-catching option. Marcus outscored Skyline, 10-7, in two live-scrimmage quarters.
