Syracuse running back Jerome Smith is one of 75 football student-athletes named to the 2013 Maxwell Award Watch List. Smith is among eight players from the Atlantic Coast Conference named to the list for the 77th annual Maxwell Award, which is named in honor of Robert W. "Tiny" Maxwell and has been given to America's College Player of the Year since 1937. Maxwell's contributions to the game of football were extensive, including as a player, a sportswriter and an official.
Smith is the leading returning rusher in the ACC in 2013. He paced the Orange with 1,171 yards on 227 carries and scored three touchdowns. His output ranks fifth on Syracuse's single-season rushing yards record list. The junior had a career-high 152 yards on a personal-best 29 carries in the 2012 New Era Pinstripe Bowl victory against West Virginia in Yankee Stadium.
