“Penn State was great,” Smothers said. “Whenever a head coach of (Franklin’s) stature knows about you, and is big on getting you to that school, it’s really amazing. When I had a conversation with James Franklin, I was like,’ This is James Franklin in my face.’ It was a surreal moment.
“He was great. He knows that Tavon Austin is my God-brother, so he said, ‘Ask Tavon. If I was the head coach at Maryland, would he have committed to Maryland?’ Sure enough, I asked Tavon and he said if James Franklin was the head coach at Maryland, he would have gone to Maryland instead of West Virginia. A lot of guys say he’s a great coach.”
