JSU could land Tech receiver
If the Jacksonville State football team is still in the market for a replacement for the go-to receiver that was Maurice Dupree, help might be on the way.
Churning in the rumor mill of Internet fan sites, Georgia Tech receiver-turned-A-back Greg Smith is headed to JSU.
If he does land at JSU — and the decision could come after he reportedly visits Portland State this weekend — won't that make for an interesting season opener at Georgia Tech?
Smith left the Yellow Jackets in March, reportedly because of dwindling playing time. He was expected to stay at Tech through the end of the semester — when he'll graduate — then transfer for his final year of eligibility.
He will be a receiver if he joins the Gamecocks.
NCAA rules prevent JSU officials from commenting on the report. They are, however, looking to replace Dupree, who became Ryan Perrilloux's favorite target after working out with the former No. 1 prep prospect immediately upon the quarterback's arrival.
Dupree caught 10 touchdown passes last season; he caught 10 passes the entire previous season. He had nine catches and two touchdowns in the season opener at Tech.
Smith, 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, was the Jackets' top receiver in 2007 under then-coach Chan Gailey — 37 catches, 588 yards — but was said to be unhappy after being moved to A-back in the scheme installed by new Tech coach Paul Johnson last year. He did not play in Tech's final three games of the season (coach's decision).
In Smith's first game as an A-back, he had three carries for 14 yards and two catches for 37 yards — against the Gamecocks
