| Smith a fantastic back running between the tackles. Smith hits the hole quickly and runs with great pad level. He has great leg drive and runs with power and authority. Smith is the type of back that can move a pile and he finishes runs very well. Despite his size he does show the speed to get around the corner on wide runs and is deceptively nimble. Smith is also an excellent receiver out of the backfield and shows great hands. |
| Biography: |
Smith missed most of his junior season with a fractured left elbow. In four games he had 550 yds rushing and 12 touchdowns. He benches 325 pounds, squats 545 and has a 30-inch vertical jump.
Final senior (13-1) stats: 1300 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns
Smith reports a 2.8 core GPA and a 880 SAT, which he plans to retake on Jan. 26.
Smith: "I have good size and good field speed. My forty time isn't the fastest (claims a 4.6), but I'm fast when I play. People underestimate my speed a lot and that helps me surprise them. I'm a good guy up the gut, north-south type runner.
"I definitely want to improve my forty speed. And I'm also working on my pass blocking."
