4. Jaylen Smith has proven his is the receiver of the future for Louisville

Jaylen Smith already came into the game against Boston College leading the whole team in touchdown receptions and he continued his dominance today against the Eagles. In the first half, Smith had 3 receptions for 68 yards and one touchdown. He is quickly becoming one of Lamar Jackson’s favorite targets.

As only a sophomore, it is extremely encouraging that Smith is having such a phenomenal season. Cole Hikutini, James Quick, and Jamari Staples will all leave the program after this season, which will leave many receptions, yards, and touchdowns left to be filled.

However, with the play of Jaylen Smith, Louisville football fans do not need to be worried about the future of the program at receiver.

Not to mention, there are a ton of incoming players who are very talented wide receivers.
