HOOVER, Ala. -- It was another in-state recruiting battle between Alabama and Auburn for Mobile, Ala., athlete Jason Smith, and it was Auburn who came out on top. Smith committed to the Tigers earlier this month.
“I loved the school, the atmosphere, the coaches,” Smith said. “I feel at home whenever I visit. The coaches are cool, down to earth, but I know when it’s time to play, it’s time to play.
“I actually told Coach [Gene] Chizik at the camp I went to. I told him that I really liked Auburn and I think I would end up committing. He was trying to keep his mouth closed about everything, but he said it was hard to do.”
