The first year college all-star game which featured Division I, II, and III players was played on February 4, 2012 with a North-South format. War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas hosted the game coached by Martin Bayless (North) and Kurt Schottenheimer (South). Utah State’s Michael Smith, a compact running back with good balance, was named the game’s MVP after rushing for 124 yards on 12 carries and returning four kickoffs for 105 yards. Smith (5081, 207) is projected as a late round/priority free agent talent.
