Expert Analysis
Marcus Henry | Prep Redzone Scout
Smith II is an game changer on the defensive line for Melissa and offenses lose sleep when they have to prepare to face him. Nigel is long, lean, he has a stout, athletic frame and his extended arm length enables him to use his violent hands early on at engagement to keep blockers from getting to his body at the point of attack. Smith II has an explosive first step, he plays with excellent leverage, he is stout versus the running game, he is extremely agile with nimble feet which allows him to read and react quickly and he has a seek and destroy type of game when he closes on the ball carrier. Nigel has the versatility to line up at all four defensive line spots, he can attack an offense from all angles which enables him to wreak havoc in the backfield. Smith II is a dominant force in the trenches who can change the game at any moment due to his ability to rush the passer and play the run under control and his speed to the ball carrier allows to make plays from sideline to sideline. Nigel’s game is tailor made for the next level and he is one the most highly recruited players in the country regardless of position.
