Smith is a two-way star for Great Oak who had 133 tackles, 9.5 sacks and ran for 1,487 yards last season.

He is a beast in the middle who closes to the ball quickly and gets in the backfield frequently. Smith makes quick reads and gets to the line of scrimmage before most offensive linemen have time to bounce off their double teams to him.
