Smithson Writeup in Sports Illustrated


"He prefers to be called Shaky. It's the nickname that Antoine Smithson earned long before genetics kicked in and countless hours in the weight room packed 210 pounds onto his 6-foot-2 frame. As a six-year-old playing basketball and football in the projects of Baltimore, he displayed an innate skill for eluding trouble; he found he could simply spin and juke his way past bigger, older opponents."

See story here, nice for Utah to have its players get some media attention--sign we're growing up and being recognized, it would have been rare to see a Utah story in the Sporting News 20 years ago.
