Resilient Walk-On RB with Untapped High School Burst
At 5-7, 185 lbs, junior walk-on Sherman Smith brings **resilient intensity** and gymnast agility to Houston's backfield, flashing elite high school production (1,875 yards, 7.4 YPC, 29 TDs including a 236-yard debut) but limited college action (1 carry for 0 yards in 2024 on a 4-8 Cougars squad).[1][2] No injury history, motivated by his UH-working grandmother, and idolizing LT—perfect **developmental gem** for teams needing a tough, explosive change-of-pace back with special teams upside. Care? He's a gritty underdog ready to erupt.
