Smith again named honorable mention FCS freshman of the week

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – For the second time this season, Campbell quarterback Daniel Smith has been named honorable mention STATS FCS Freshman of the Week.

In an overtime loss to Jacksonville, Smith ran for 191 yards, the third most rushing yards by a Camel all-time and the most ever by a quarterback, with three touchdowns, including two in extra time. The Leesburg, Va. native added 185 yards through the air, completing 15-of-31 passes with two more scores.

Coming into the game tied for Campbell's single-season passing TDs record, Smith tossed two more to reach 17 on the season. His 17th touchdown pass made Smith, just a redshirt freshman, Campbell's all-time leader for career touchdown passes.

Smith rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns in overtime alone, adding a 17 yard TD run in the second, and passing for two touchdowns in the third quarter.

For the year, Smith has thrown for 1586 yards. His 902 yards rushing are the second most ever by a Camel, trailing only De'Shawn Jones' 2015 total of 1079. He adds seven touchdowns rushing.
He was also named honorable mention STATS FCS Freshman of the Week following week three of the season.

Campbell heads to Davidson on November 4 for its final road trip of the 2017 season. The Camels return to Barker-Lane Stadium for their season finale November 11 against Drake.
