Smith Out for 2015 Season

Tuesday, March 17

Arizona State received tough news on Tuesday, as wide receiver Cameron Smith is going to be out for the season due to injury. 

Doug Haller of AZCentral.com had the report:

Smith was a solid contributor in his sophomore campaign, catching 41 passes for 596 yards and six scores. With leading receiver Jaelen Strong heading to the NFL, Smith was likely going to take over as the team's top receiving option along with running back D.J. Foster, who caught 62 passes for 688 receiving yards and three touchdowns.  

Now, the Sun Devils will need other players to step up in Smith's stead.   

While Smith will be missing his junior season, the hope will be that he can return at 100 percent in his senior season and continue to progress as he did in his first two seasons. While it was always unlikely he could have replicated Strong's production this year, he certainly would have been a reliable target for the team. 

Unfortunately, that won't be the case due to his injury.
