Brandon Smith Appreciation!

[87alum87]

Thanks Brandon for coming from Mississippi to Iowa, and being and instrumental part of beating a home state team. Thanks for every downfield block and every corner, safety, or even linebackers you kept from making a play. Thanks for the end-zone corner catches. Mostly thanks for being a team leader with no off-field issues. You will be missed!

I think you will do well at the combine, and I bet KF puts in a great word for you, and you will make the best of a late round draft choice. Look forward to watching you on Sundays.

Thanks #12!

Thanks Brandon. You were a great Hawkeye on and off the field.

Brandon Smith has strong arms

4 years flew by!

 

[Burbank84]

Brandon definitely improved and had a solid career — well done!

 

[katman15]

Thanks Brandon. Culture shock I’m sure but you will be a better person for this. Once a Hawk- always a Hawk ,,,best of luck to you as you pursue your NFL dream.

Wish he had a couple more years here I enjoyed watching him play.

 

[BAE94]

Thanks for the memories!

Great job Brandon!

 

[HawkAlum2002]

He was a really fun player to watch develop over the years. I think he fumbled his first ever catch so there was nowhere to go but up. Too bad he got hurt last season and missed a bunch of games, his career stats would be a bit better along with this shortened season.

 

[jhawk23]

One of my favorite hawks of all time. Sadly under utilized. Will never forget the circus catch against PSU and the countless other catches where he overpowered the DB and made seem routine. Hope he goes on to make a name for himself in the league.

 

[HawkIDrummer]

IOWA was fortunate to have Brandon, it's great to hear that he feels the same way. Good luck, young man. You're a great Hawkeye.

 

[TonyTheTiger.1865]

Outstanding young man, still my pick to be the surprise NFL success in this draft class.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Ever since his recruting story and taking a chance on Iowa coming from Mississippi, I was rooting for him to succeed. Really hope he makes it!

 

[dandh]

Brandon is a great Hawkeye. Loved what he brought, and I wish him great success to come. Thank you, Brandon.

Love this kid. Wish he would stay one more year but can understand wanting to move on. Him and ISM turned around the WR position for Iowa. Hope he can make a roster next year.

Dude always has a smile on his face.

And, as you can see, he is currently training in warm weather for his NFL shot.

He definitely looks the part of an nfl receiver

 

[kceasthawk]

He definitely looks the part of an nfl receiver

He has to be the most RIPPED WR I have ever seen. Ridiculous!

 

[BirdistheWord]

Actually his blocking ability and strength will turn some heads. If he has a great combine performance will certainly get some additonal attention, and its likely that his vertical and long jump will be elite.

He is a guy that can go over the middle and make that tough catch for a first down and/or be a red zone threat.

 

[Franisdaman]

He has to be the most RIPPED WR I have ever seen. Ridiculous!

This was Shannon Sharpe (granted, at TE) AFTER his playing days and AFTER he was inducted into the Hall of Fame!

 

[HungryHawk]

He has to be the most RIPPED WR I have ever seen. Ridiculous!

Among the most ripped human WR I have seen, so DK Metcalf is excluded.

KOK?

 

[NevadaHawk]

Brandon, you made some of the greatest catches I have ever seen a Hawkeye make. We were so fortunate to have in the program. Best wishes going forward.

 

[icnu525]

He will make the league

 

[fezzador]

Love to have him back as WR coach in 10 or 15 years.

 

[Stormn Norman]

He’s going to be in the NFL...

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Brandon Smith is playing in the NFL. Receivers get hurt, a lot. There will be room and need on someone's roster.

 

[St78I81]

I love that guy. Excellent hands and reliable as can be in all phases. He just goes to work! I really hope he has caught the eye of the pro scouts.
