Kentucky transfer Maxwell Smith and Diablo Valley Junior College QB Adam Wood are both on campus and set for spring ball coming up soon. Smith has been placed on scholarship. Wood is coming in as a walk-on.
Smith threw for 3,000 yards and 21 touchdowns vs. nine interceptions during his career at Kentucky. He will technically be a senior at SDSU but there's a chance he can be granted another year via medical waiver request. He's a very big, strong QB with a good arm.
Wood comes from a program that brought Quinn Kaehler and Na'Im McGee to SDSU. I've heard Wood is about the same size as Kaehler and just as smart, along with average to above average arm strength.
SDSU also seemed very close to adding Utah 3rd stringer Adam Schulz, a former Jeff Horton recruit when he was at Nevada, but that fell through.
Nonetheless, SDSU will have three mature QBs in Smith, Wood and Jake Rodrigues to go along with the young guns, Nick Bawden and Christian Chapman. That's a nice group to work with for Coach Horton in his first year. They'll all have to start from the same position and they'll all be adapting to Horton's criteria, playbook and terminology. The competition should be a very close one.
