Fresh off of our Winter break, the Strive Sports Podcast RETURNS for its second season, and what better way to kick things off than with one of the faces of the United States Football League (USFL), 2x USFL Champion with the Birmingham Stallions (2022, 2023), QB J'Mar Smith.

In the first episode of season 2, Keegan Hartman (@KeeganHartman1 via Twitter) sits down with 2x USFL Champion, quarterback J'Mar Smith (@jMar_smith via Twitter) to talk Smith's high school/collegiate career throughout Meridian High School, followed up by his illustrious career at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA. Smith, 27, is embarking on his third season with the Birmingham Stallions, having led the Stallions to a USFL Championship in the organization's inaugural season back in 2022. In 2023, Smith would be sidelined with a hand injury, but would play an integral role as a leader for the Stallions, helping to propel them to a second consecutive league title in 2023.

However, for those unfamiliar with Smith's story, J'Mar's life has not always been centered around the game of football. Although Smith has had a reputation on the gridiron for much of his football career, J'Mar also saw success on the baseball diamond as well. In fact, it was back in 2015 when Smith- who, at the time, was just completing his high school career- would be selected in the 24th round of the 2015 MLB Draft by the San Diego Padres. Ultimately, Smith would make the decision to pursue his collegiate football career at Louisiana Tech University under the direction of head football coach Skip Holtz.

In this week's episode of the Strive Sports Podcast, we take a deeper dive into the career of J'Mar Smith, and get a firsthand perspective on Smith's upbringing and professional career...
