6’5 260bs 4-star DE out of Melissa TX
(Melissa TX is North of Dallas in the North Allen region in Collin County)

Dual sport athlete that plays both Football & Basketball
Comes from good athletic stock, his Dad is former SMU Basketball Nigel Smith SR

Had a great Sophomore season with 66tcks 20TFL’s 10 sacks 3FF’s & 2FR’s

Is a prototype sized DE with very good motor & displays a bevy of pass rushing hand fighting techniques to disengage while shedding lineman. He showed good swim & rip techniques beating interior Guards & has a quick first step playing with good balance & leverage against OT’s. Does a really job in pursuit setting the edge on the backside in Run defense.



He’s a big strong versatile DL with high upside, can plays 4 or 5-Tech in 3-4 & traditional 7 Strongside DE in a 4-3.

Has some AJ Epenesa to his game.
 
Just looks like a future pro. Would be very easy for him to play the 7 like Chad Thomas, would need to only gain natural weight
