The Arizona Wildcats have landed their second commitment of the week, reeling in running back Darrius Smith of Dawson High School (Pearson, Texas) on Friday.
Smith checks in at 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, and held offers to Alabama A&M, Howard and Texas Southern. Other schools showing interest included Baylor, Houston, Navy and Washington.
As a junior, he tallied 2,150 all-purpose yards and scored 20 touchdowns, earning District Offensive MVP honors. Smith runs a 4.5 40-yard dash, benches 275 pounds, and squats 405 pounds.
The staff has been making an effort to dig into Texas and it appears to slowly be gaining momentum there in this 2018 class.
