Jeremiah Smith

Jeremiah Smith is the cousin of NFL quarterback Geno Smith, who starred at West Virginia in his college career. Smith is a talent on the field, but Damien Jones, his high school coach compliments him for his work ethic in every aspect of life. “What makes him special is he’s a humble kid,” Jones said. “What I mean by that is some kids will become prima donnas, where a kid will get mad and sit out practice. But Jeremiah is constantly working and constantly trying to get better and trying to improve. You can’t say that about everybody, man. He loves to ball. He’s competitive. He wants to be the best.” Smith plans on majoring in business management in college. Away from football, Smith enjoys bowling, working out and playing video games. His favorite meal is chicken and rice. His parents are Lativia Newberry and Christopher Smith.
