Smith flashed throughout his freshman year on varsity finishing with 21 tackles, 8 sacks, and 2 fumble recoveries. He’s got a developing frame and a strong foundational skillset to build on. Shows good initial quickness and the ability to get up field to penetrate early. Shows early signs of hand usage and variation of block beating moves but right now relies on athleticism and speed to free himself up. Excels as a pass rusher that can bend off the edge and collapse the pocket. High effort player that is quick to locate ball location and chase.
