Jacquies Smith

Jacquies Smith (pronounced "Jack", born March 18, 1990) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Missouri Tigers.

In the NFL in 2014, Smith recorded 6.5 sacks in 7 starts for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 2015, Smith is credited with 7 quarterback sacks in the 11 games that he was healthy enough to play. During that season, a Bleacher Report article on Smith was entitled, "Jacquies Smith's Wild Ride to Become the NFL's Best Player You've Never Heard of."

Smith grew up in an impoverished Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Texas and was raised by his grandmother. Through most of his childhood, Smith's father was incarcerated. His grandfather, Herbert Jones, was a U.S. Army veteran and prominent AAU coach whose players included such Dallas high school stars as Dennis Rodman and Larry Johnson. His grandfather specifically coached and encouraged his development as a football, track, and basketball player beginning when Smith was a young child.

Smith graduated from South Oak Cliff High School in 2008. He was an All-Midlands Region defensive lineman by PrepStar Magazine.

He was recruited to play football at the University of Missouri.

After his sophomore season at Missouri, Smith was All-Big 12, Honorable Mention. He was also named Missouri's Most Improved Defensive lineman during the spring practice session.

Smith was named 2nd-Team All-Big 12 after his junior season, and he also received the team's Jeff Rigman Outstanding Underclassman Leadership Award

Prior to his senior season, Smith was named to the "watch list" for both the Lombardi Award and the College Football Performance Award for the country's best defensive lineman. Smith was also named to variety of preseason all-star teams: Lindy's, Blue Ribbon, Athlon, and Phil Steele. An elbow injury limited action during that senior year, and Smith ended up the year without end-of-season accolades.
