On Friday, Smith will host the finals of a venture pitch competition in his hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana dubbed the Indiana Showcase, which flows out of the minority entrepreneurship institute he established.

This is this the kind fundamental, grass roots effort that’s far more likely to lead to positive change than any number of well-meaning but misguided social programs. Jaylon Smith is a shining example of what Notre Dame people are all about.
