Since we don't have any incoming freshman backs signed, what is the chances he comes back from the portal? He hasn't committed to any other program yet, he would be a good backup and get some playing time.
Chance Smoke returns?

Highly unlikely. He’s more of a Troy guy. Need a hole a mile wide for him not to get tackled by a pinky finger.
I get that he's not a #1 SEC caliber back, but he has over 1,500 career yards as mostly a backup. He's got enough talent to be a good situational back for us.
I would love for him to be backup.
But he was buried on that bench last half of the season.
I could see him going FCS and starting for a playoff team.

For sure but as the line play has gotten worse it seems so has he. I agree he would be good for depth but he’s not happy being the third on the chart.
We still may sign a RB in this class which would put us at 4-5 deep at that position w/o Smoke.
He did get most of those yards behind a very good OL. Smoke is just not very good.
I'm sure he's targeting troy. He needs somewhere with a gap scheme and not sure what troy runs.
Unfortunately young man isn't going to have many takers.

Anybody got the devastating, decleating block Smoke made on the UF DB a couple of years ago? Still see that in my dreams. Good luck to him.
I don’t think he comes back and unfortunately I don’t think he has found a new place for himself.
He’s just not that good. I would take him back but he’s not coming back. Some of his tweets were like a jilted ex girlfriend
Honest question and if its already been addressed my bad. Why cant Ramon Jefferson come back for another year? He literally had 2 carries and out for the season. Would he not provide quality depth at RB?
Apparently Stoops indicated recently Jefferson will apply for another year.
I hope he goes to Troy and rushes for 1k+, but if he asked to come back and would accept whatever role the coaches need him for, then I'd take him back.
Dude was given every chance anyone could want and about twice as many as he deserved. Glad he had a few nice plays for us but we can do way better
Smoke began asserting himself offensively 3rd and 4th quarters of UF game. I believe he rushed for 50+ yards during second half, including 3 or 4 runs greater than 10 yards each. I'll miss him.
We certainly could have used him for the bowl game. Would have given him another to show other programs what he could do.
Agree with other posters that it’s best he move on for next season. Thanks and best wishes.
