Lee County High School’s Jahmir Smith reached the end zone twice — the game’s first and final touchdowns — in ninth-ranked Notre Dame’s 35-17 win over Louisville in the Fighting Irish’s nationally televised season opener Monday night.

The touchdowns were the sophomore’s first scores as a collegiate running back.

Smith, who had a record-breaking career in high school, is listed at second or third on the Notre Dame running back depth chart heading into this season behind junior Tony Jones Jr., who also had a big game 110 yards rushing and a score.

Smith finished the night with 8 carries for 24 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also had a catch for six yards.
