After racking up eight interceptions this season, including two returned for touchdowns, cornerback Troy Smith is steadily picking up college interest. This weekend, the 5-foot-10, 175-pound Smith, who attends Pike High School in Indianapolis, will make his first official visit with a trip to Iowa City.

After Iowa, he plans to visit Cincinnati, Louisville, and Toledo in January. While none of those schools have offered a scholarship yet, that could happen soon as all of the interest is real recent. In fact, Iowa entered the picture just a week ago when recruiting coordinator Eric Johnson stopped by to talk with Moyers.

What coaches see from Smith on film is a playmaking cornerback with speed. The Indianapolis native was hand timed at 4.40 at a combine last spring and has run even faster than that in testing, according to Moyers, who says Smith has been an integral part of his team's success.
