| Fantastically productive high school runner. Has outstanding size and has rare athleticism for a kid with his frame. Fluid kid who glides on the field and can make cuts while going full speed. He's a long strider who can break longer runs. He shows good blocking and receiving ability as well. He does run high and will need to add some weight, particularly in the lower body and that will help him as a between the tackles runner. - Allen Trieu |
| Biography: |
| Smith finished his prep career as one of the state's top 10 most prolific backs with 6,620 rushing yards after picking up 1,335 yards as a senior.
As a junior, Smith finished with 1,685 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns. He enjoyed a great freshman season with 1,800 yards on 270 attempts for 15 touchdowns for the 2A State Champion.He benches 300-pounds and squats 400.
As impressive as those stats are, his three-year totals are even more staggering. During his three-year career he’s amassed 5,285 yards on the ground.
Smith: “I’m quick and am able to get away from the defender. I can make smart decisions and don’t make many mistakes. I’m really balanced. I can do all the little things well. I’d also like to be more patient on the blocks.”
