Nikhai Smith Nikhai Smith Nikhai Smith 6'0" | 201 lbs | DL/LB Somerville | 2027 State NJ , from perennial outstanding program Somerville, was perhaps the most quick-to-react prospect in attendance. The way Smith opened, turned, and broke to the shoulder of the quarterback was as if the two were tied together by a string. In run defense, Smith read the ball carriers’ hips extremely well, failing to ever get juked. I would like to see him extend his arms when intercepting the ball, however.
