Derick Smith Derick Smith 6'2" | 180 lbs | WR Southside | 2025 State AL has been one of the top prospects in our 2025 Rankings since his freshman season, and rightfully so- what Smith has been able to accomplish on offense and defense for Southside has been incredible to watch. Smith has played at WR, RB, and DB throughout his career and can make impact plays no matter where he’s lined up. It’s easy to see- Smith is coming off an unbelievable junior season where he carried the ball 65 times for 1046 yards and 9 touchdowns, hauled in 46 receptions for 1487 yards and 14 touchdowns, and racked up 98 total tackles (14 for loss), 4 sacks, 8 interceptions, and 13 pass breakups. Smith is an unbelievable athlete who plays with a ton of speed, acceleration, strength, and instincts. In addition to his raw athleticism, he has a fantastic set of hands that he uses to bring in some tough catches and break up/intercept passes. Be sure to look out for Smith this fall, he’s been one of the most exciting players to watch over the past four years and is set up for a huge senior season before he heads off to Auburn!
