An incredible man in the community:
If there’s anything to remember Torrey Smith for, it should be for his work in the communities of wherever he was. Since coming to Maryland in college for the hometown Terrapins, Smith was dedicated to being a man’s man and striving for greatness as an individual. Nothing was more important in his life than his family and God. You can’t hate a man with the compassion and understanding that he was born with.
Smith created his own charity foundation known as the “Torrey Smith Foundation (TSF)” that supports children with outside issues such as eduction, money, etc. while also benefiting its community. It truly is a purpose higher than football that Smith has placed tons of value into.
Torrey Smith is who you’d want to take your daughter to prom and is truly a one-of-a-kind individual. In today’s society, we don’t see many people like that so I had to make sure we gave Smith credit for this before we talked about his NFL career.
