The Florida native committed to Mississippi State in October, less than two weeks after the Bulldogs joined his recruitment. He also holds scholarships from Auburn, Miami, South Carolina, Kentucky, West Virginia, and USF, among others.
During his sophomore season at Blountstown High School, Smith totaled 50 tackles, four tackles for loss, one fumble recovery, ten pass deflections, and seven interceptions. Smith picked off at least one pass in six consecutive games during the middle of the campaign.
The 6-foot-3, 160-pound safety has yet to be ranked by 247Sports in the 2027 class.
Considering the proximity and Smith’s offer sheet, Florida State is already behind the eight-ball. The program will need to act quickly if they truly consider him as an option in #Tribe28.
