Billy Tucker: Six running backs were good enough to be considered for the No. 1 spot - ESPN

On the verge

Roderick Smith
(Fort Wayne, Ind./Harding)
College: Ohio State
From a pure size-to-speed ratio, you would be hard pressed to find a greater running back prospect than Smith. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder has a sneaky extra gear and very good top-end speed for his size when he breaks free in the second level. We would like to see more yards-after-contact production, but he certainly has great load back qualities and is a nice fit for the Buckeyes.

Roderick Smith Closing
In On Records
Smith just 559 yards from SAC mark
Friday, 14 Aug 2009

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Roderick Smith needs just 559 yards to break the SAC's all-time rushing record set by former Wayne high school standout Ray Byers.

Smith also needs 2,543 yards for the all-time Northeast Indiana record and 2,791 for the state mark set by Cathedral's Otis Shannon.

The Harding high school standout heads into his senior season with 4,770 yards on 709 carries and 44 touchdowns in 36 career games.

The 6-foot-3 Smith has verbally committed to Ohio State and is ranked as one of the top 10 prep running backs in the nation by virtually every recruiting website.
