Tennessee WR Josh Smith posted two “stories” on his Instagram account giving Knoxville kids the chance to train with him and running back Todd Kelly Jr. The rising fifth-year senior says they’ll be training at D1 Sports Training. D1 Sports Training is a nationwide chain of performance centers focused on improving youth athletes.
At first look you might think that Smith could be running afoul of NCAA regulations on endorsements, however, the wide receiver does not appear to be using his status as a student-athlete for personal benefit or specifically to endorse D1 Sports Training.
The invitation is out of the ordinary, but not unheard of for Volunteers.
