Robert Smith the Fourth Rising | Boston College Football News

Boston College’s offensive line hopes ride on sophomore standout Robert Smith IV, a towering 6’4”, 315-pound former three-star recruit from Cleveland who’s already earning rave reviews from coach Bill O’Brien. After five starts as a freshman — including a pivotal debut against California that helped Turbo Richard explode for yards — Smith is poised to anchor the interior and potentially start at both guard spots. With the Eagles’ O-line struggling last season and the run game faltering, Smith’s growth — he’s even gained an inch since arriving — could be the catalyst for reclaiming BC’s “O-line U” legacy. As the opener against Cincinnati looms in 29 days, his development is one of the most critical storylines under O’Brien’s third year.
