This is a fish tale.
Or a Fish tale, to be accurate.
Fish Smithson is a junior safety at Kansas and in the Jayhawks’ last game, against Memphis, he led the team with 12 tackles, nine of them solo.
He comes from Baltimore but finished high school in Salt Lake City, where he attended junior college and helped lead Hartnell College to a 9-2 record and a bowl win.
As a quarterback in high school, Smithson passed for 528 yards and rushed for 492.
Which is all nice and newsworthy – but can we cut to the chase?
