| A big, big hitter, Smith could be a top-tier SEC safety. Will succeed in a system that will require him to be a force player, thus playing to his strength. Has the straight-line speed to play in the secondary but is often too high, which makes change of direction slightly difficult. May move down a level to LB where he will thrive due to speed, range and delivery. Extremely effective at the point of attack and always finishes-Burke Hayes |
