looks like a grown man playing out there, and it shows every Friday night. Standing around 5’11” and close to 195 pounds, Smith has the kind of build and burst that jumps off the screen. While he’s known for his big runs at running back, he’s a grinder in every sense of the word, bringing that workhorse back mentality to the defensive side and bringing it every snap. He’s piled up 79 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 2 interceptions this year, showing that he’s not just active — he’s productive. When he’s lined up on defense, he brings that same physicality and balance that make him a nightmare to tackle on offense. He’s got great closing speed, and when he hits, it’s heavy. Even as a sophomore, he’s already shown he can handle both sides of the ball without losing a step. You can tell he studies film, because he flows to the ball like he knows what’s coming. That’s rare at his age. He’s got the frame, the football IQ, and the kind of competitive fire that coaches love at the next level.
