The FAU Football recruiting train continues to roll down the tracks in what has become the most productive Spring and Summer in program history from a commitment perspective.

On Friday, Jones High School (Orlando) wide receiver Jabari Smith announced his decision to pledge to the Owls' 2023 class, bringing the tally to nine members.

Smith enjoyed a spectacular junior campaign for the Tigers, gaining 1,044 yards through the air over a 14 game span while posting a hefty 16.3 yard per catch mark that saw him find the end zone five times. The performance earned him First Team All State awards while also being the most yardage posted by a 6A receiver.

His Spring 2022 highlight tape is below.



Touchpoints by many Owl staffers were employed during his recruitment, with primary contacts being Coach David Kelly and later current position Coach Billy Gonzalez. He received his offer to join the FAU program on October 6, 2021.

Smith will join fellow Jones' High FAU roster members DL Evan Anderson, WR Je'Quan Burton, and WR A'ceon Cobb and the other members of the current 2023 class listed below.

Clewiston DB Preston Thompson

Deerfield WR AJ Jenkins

Dillard Safety Fabian Scott

Seminole QB Luke Rucker

Roswell TE Zeke Moore

Charlotte High OL Brendan Chavarria

St. Thomas Aquinas RB Xavier Terrell

Venice TE Fin Jones

What happened to Preston Thompson? Is he no longer committed?

Added, thanks for the head's up.

This is shaping up to be a deep class, especially on offense. Do both of these WRs project to be college WRs? Or are either more of a Smoke Mungin/Justin McKithen who will sign as WRs and almost immediately convert to CB?

WR for both...
