Jarrid Smith Headed For FAU

By Paula Cassels
SEBRING —
On Dec.14, Seminole tribal member Jarrid Smith played offensive lineman in the All-stars football Game in Sebring, Florida.

Smith is a resident of the Brighton Reservation and a senior at Okeechobee High School.

Smith plays offensive lineman for the Okeechobee Brahman's varsity football team. Jarrid had an outstanding year, and is one of the Brahman's best skilled offensive line players.

Although he has played organized football for six years, his mother, Camellia Osceola, said that he started playing flag football at 5 years old.

Smith is 17 years old, has a 3.2 GPA, stands 6'3" tall and weighs 230 pounds. Smith also participates in other sports: basketball, baseball and track.

However, his favorite sport is football and he plans to attend Florida Atlantic University on a football scholarship.

This year, Sebring’s Firemen's field hosted the 4th Annual South vs. Central Florida All-Stars Football game.

The best two to four football players were chosen by their head coaches from Central Florida and South Florida High Schools to participate in this year’s All-Star football game.

Football scouts from different colleges and universities came to the game to check out the best football players from south and central Florida.
