Caleb Smith played DI soccer at SMU from 2015-2018. He will be writing about his rookie season in the USL Championship with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds throughout the 2019 campaign.
We arrived to the stadium at 5:15, our routine time. I greeted everyone, gathered my rehab belongings and headed out to the field.
