After signing his National Letter of Intent this week to make his college commitment to play football at Army official, Middletown running back Carson Smith is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Smith chats with host Greg Swatek about the recruiting process and why he ultimately settled on Army. Did he ever envision himself at a military academy?

The guys also discuss his sensational last two seasons at Middletown, during which he rushed for more than 3,000 yards and 50 touchdowns and led the Knights to the Class 2A state semifinals in November. They talk about his various interests outside of football and what he sees in the eyes of defenders who attempt to tackle him.

Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss the winter sports scene in Frederick County. What boys and girls basketball teams have separated themselves from the pack so far?
