Jordan Smith is first UAB player selected in NFL draft since 2015
Updated May 01, 2021;
For the first time since the program was reinstated six years, and making its re-debut four seasons ago, the UAB football program has a player selected in the NFL Draft.
Former UAB outside linebacker Jordan Smith was taken in the fourth round by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 121st overall pick.
Smith is the 15th player from UAB to be drafted and becomes the first selected since wide receiver J.J. Nelson and tight end Kennard Backman were taken in the fifth and sixth rounds of the 2015 draft.

Unless some trades are on the horizon, the Seattle Seahawks won t be too active during the 2021 NFL draft.
The Seahawks don t have a first-round pick after it was traded to the New York Jets in exchange for safety Jamal Adams last July, as was their third-round selection for this year s draft. So Seattle only has one pick on Day 2 the No. 56 overall selection in the second round.
On Day 3, the Seahawks have a fourth-round pick (No. 129 overall) and a seventh-round selection (No. 250 overall). They traded their fifth-rounder to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for guard Gabe Jackson last month. And their sixth-round selection went to the Miami Dolphins during last year s draft in exchange for a 2020 seventh-round pick.
