A consistent blocker in the run game, Smith has plenty of strength both in thee upper body and lower body. He's tough, physical, and when he gets his hands on you, he's driving you backwards and putting you on the ground. He does a great job of just doing his job each and every play.

He appears to be technically sound, and he's only going to get better over the next 12 months. An academic star as well, Smith holds a 4.65 GPA. The Atlanta native earned a new offer this week from Georgia Tech.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/bradley_smith60/status/1596994174837878784?s=20&t=F3AnIdDXeC3xosfYd1klFA </div></figure>
