2019 BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD WATCHLIST ADDITION: DB Artevius Smith, ETSU,...Smith has been a one-man wrecking crew in the secondary for the Bucs this season, wrapping up 66 tackles and pulling in four interceptions on the season. The Alabama native has also forced one fumble and broken up four passes through the first nine games this season.

Smith has twice been named SoCon Defensive Player of the Week for his performances against Furman and Samford.

Smith was later a recipient of the award for the second time this season for 10 tackles and one interception at Samford on Oct. 26. Smith has recorded double-digit tackles twice this season, earning a career-best 11 tackles against Appalachian State in the season opener on Aug. 31. - ETSU/STATS FCS Football
