Mount Dora (Fla.) Willie Smith has a defensive Play of the Year candidate.



Mount Dora (Fla.) linebacker Willie Smith took a handoff from Tavares (Fla.) quarterback Austin Tomson and rushed into the end zone.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Smith executed a near-perfect blitz, shooting right up a hole created by a pulling guard.



Tomson had just spun around and faked a pitch to the running back. As he got his feet planted, there was Smith, who ripped the ball out of his hands and sprinted into the end zone, almost as if he were a running back.
