I recently got my eyes on Smith in person, and this kid is the real deal. He has some size to him but enough speed and athleticism to make things happen in space. Smith has become one of the under-the-radar backs making an impact for one of the top programs in the Tampa Bay area. He’s a gifted runner with the burst to turn limited opportunities into big plays, and the more reps he gets, the more comfortable he looks. There’s a lot to like here from a physical standpoint, and his ability to run with power while still having another gear makes him a back worth watching as the season continues.

In one of the biggest regular season matchups of the season so far, Tampa Bay Tech RB Kesean Smith did a little bit of everything for the Titans. Smith finished with 24 touches, 139 total yards and 4 touchdowns against Gaither. That’s the type of performance you need from a lead back when the lights are bright, and Smith continues to give TBT another weapon on an offense that has been rolling.

Smith is one of the under-the-radar backs making an impact for one of the top programs in the area. He’s a gifted runner with the explosiveness to turn limited opportunities into big plays, as shown by his 125 yards and two touchdowns on just seven carries. Smith is already showing he can be an impact player at this level, and his production deserves more attention.
