UCF receiver Tre'Quan Smith passionate about football after late start

UCF receiver Tre'Quan Smith, last season's American Athletic Conference rookie of the year, had to be convinced to play football.

Unlike many of his peers, the 20-year-old from Delray Beach didn't grow up fantasizing about an NFL career. He didn't even play organized football until his freshman year of high school at Village Academy. And after a breakout performance with two interceptions and four catches for 50 yards just four games into his freshman year, he quit football.

"He just quit. I don't know why," chuckled John Lewis, Smith's high school receivers and defensive backs coach.
