It’s been quite a two-week start for Weber State football freshman Zach Smith. Through two games, Smith has an 85-yard interception return, a blocked punt recovery for a touchdown, and a blocked extra point attempt. In the season-opening win at Northern Colorado, Smith blocked an extra point attempt in the final seconds to seal a Wildcat win. In Saturday’s game at Southern Utah, Smith had an 85-yard interception return and scooped up a blocked punt and returned it for a touchdown. Early in the second quarter, Porter Hadley blocked an SUU punt and Smith scooped it up and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, with the Wildcats trailing 41-36, Smith intercepted a pass at the WSU one-yard line and returned it 85 yards. It ranks as the third longest interception return in Weber State history. The return set up the Wildcat offense that scored a touchdown on the next play. In this ‘Cat Tales podcast, Smith talks about the first two games of the season and the plays he has made. He also talks about just returning from a church mission in May and jumping right back into football. He talks about his journey growing up in South Weber, playing high school football at Northridge High, committing to Weber State, and much more.
