Rising Star: Achilles Smith Jr's Football Journey and Ambitions | Sports Stars of Tomorrow

At 6'5" and 200 pounds, Akili Smith Jr. from Lincoln High School in San Diego possesses the arm strength and frame that made his father a third overall NFL draft pick. Last season he threw for 2,431 yards and 25 touchdowns while leading his team to an 11-1 record.

Rather than simply riding his famous name, Smith Jr. has developed his own identity through film study and guidance from his father. His commitment to the Oregon Ducks continues the family's football legacy while carving his own path toward potential professional success.
