ATH Sam Smiley still weighing options

Posted Feb 1, 2011
Sam Smiley has three schools left on his list of choices. Each likes him at a different position. With signing day nearing, the 6-foot, 170-pound Smiley is still considering Purdue, North Carolina and Middle Tennessee State. UNC wants Smiley to play cornerback, while Purdue likes him as a slot receiver. Middle Tennessee is giving Smiley the chance to play quarterback, the position he shined at this past season for the Vikings. "That's the biggest decision for me right now is which position," Smiley said. (Florida Times-Union)
