Quick interview with QB Breylin Smith, “the most interesting man in Conway”

Fans of Conway High School’s Breylin Smith are used to seeing the 6’3”, 190 pound, quarterback throw the pigskin on a rope. At the end of Smith’s junior season in 2014 he had passed for over 2,000 yards lighting up the scoreboard with 20 touchdown tosses.

Colleges near and far are interested in Smith’s 2015 season. The potential suitors include Ole Miss, North Carolina, Stanford, Texas, Notre Dame, Auburn, Missouri, Army, Tulsa, Memphis and in-state powers Arkansas State and Arkansas.

Fitting that one of the schools interested in Smith’s services under center is Oklahoma State. Should Smith get an offer from OSU and choose to matriculate to the Stillwater campus chances are “the most interesting man in Conway” would be the only true Cowboy on the roster.

We caught up with Breylin’s unofficial visits to date last week along with his one-day college camp circuit that is currently scheduled, but we wanted to know more. In an ongoing Recruiting News Guru “getting to know you” Q&A series we prodded a little deeper finding out what Breylin is like off the gridiron.
