I don't have confirmation, but it appears this is a legacy. Donald Smith was a beast of a DB for the Flames back when some of us were in school before he spent a decade playing professionally primarily in Canada in addition to a short stint with the Cowboys.

I believe he was on staff as well

Yeah, the elder Donald Smith was an assistant coach for us for awhile. He now is coaching and teaching down in Danville in addition to apparently being quite an artist:

Donald Smith’s secret might be out. He’s a teacher during the day at Gibson Elementary School and a football and wrestling coach at George Washington High School after school hours. But when school’s out, he’s an artist, an avocation he said not many of his fellow teachers know about.

I had a ton of respect for him when he was on staff. And a ton of respect for why he left

His dad was a great player for sure. Loved watching him play.

In addition to playing corner, The elder Donald may have been the best overall special teams player we ever had, both returning kicks and blocking them. Might want to consider bringing him back on staff to help correct a big problem area.

The elder Donald Smith is a class act. Great guy. It was a pleasure working with him. Hard to believe his son is old enough to be in college soon.

Committed to Hampton. Another one that I think we backed off of.

Probably...depends on what position TG and the boy's wanted to put him at
