Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Smith is an elite offensive tackle prospect with ideal size, length, and athleticism at 6’5” 280 lbs. Carries a lean build with room to add mass without sacrificing mobility and foot speed. Excellent natural movement skills with great flexibility and short area quickness to be effective working to the second level and blocking in space. He’s fast coming out of his stance with a quick first step to gain positional leverage and beat opponents to the spot. Light on his feet, he’s able to mirror edge defenders with ease. High technical while also being explosive at initial contact. Possesses heavy hands and drives his feet through contact to create movement and open up running lanes. He’s balanced and under control while engaging defenders, rarely getting outside his framework. Great ability to execute different types of blocks effectively depending on play call. Committed to Ohio State in late March over 11 other offers, all of which were from P4 programs.
12 Offers: Ohio State, Arizona, Arkansas, Arizona State, Iowa State, Kansas State, Minnesota, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Purdue, USC, Washington
