CAREER SNAPSHOT:

• Roland Smith played DB for the Miami Hurricanes during their heyday as a National power (1987-90)- winning two championships.
• During his senior campaign in Miami, he had 52 total tackles, 2 picks and 2 forced fumbles.
• He was selected in the 8th round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins.
• In 1992, he’d be a first round choice of the London Monarchs of the World League.
• He went into HS coaching where he built an incredible resume, winning 7 HS State Championships between Northwestern and Miami Central.
• In 2022, returned home to the Hurricanes, where he now serves as the school’s Director of High School Relations.

NOTES:

Roland Smith was a name I’d been after for a while, but after he started receiving hate mail, he stopped signing shortly before I sent out to him in 2015. I thought I’d take a shot in the dark to him once he moved to the Hurricanes and it worked out nicely.

This card is confusing, because the image subject feels like its more the Thunder player as opposed to Roland who’s barely on the card. In fact for the longest time I thought that Roland was a member of the Thunder. It also doesn’t help that fellow DB Irvin Smith has an almost identical card photo, same last name, and appears just two cards previously in the set.
