SCOUTING: Having had the opportunity to watch this young man in so many different settings has given us a unique perspective into what he's all about as an all-around football player. Smith is a very impressive football player who is versatile enough to line up wherever needed. College coaches we spoke with love his burst of speed and running style - which comes from playing running back. His work in the slot and on special teams will be his ticket to the next level. His ability to catch the ball and use his running skills is making him a talent that schools are not easily passing by. Watching him perform in practice, games and other football-related events only backs up how gifted this prospect is. Head coach Richard Dunbar cannot say enough positive things - and colleges are listening closely. Keep your eye on this athlete - because he still has plenty to showcase.
