About Lyrik
Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Smith exploded onto the scene this year. The 6’3 172-pound wide receiver had 69 catches for 1264 yards with 16 touchdowns. He was 3rd overall in receiving yards in the state. Smith has good athletic ability due to very good jumping, change of direction, good acceleration, and speed. Smith is more of a possession receiver that consistently catches everything in his way. Very good release against both off coverage and press jam. He has very good separation quickness due to his play strength and mental processing. He’ll make himself open during the QB scramble drill. Smith has good ball tracking and very good catching. He uses his lengthy arms to pluck the ball out of the air with his strong suction hands. Smith will gain yards after contact due to bouncing off defenders, a powerful stiff arm, or a nasty juke move. I can see him contributing from the D2 to FCS level.
