DE Tyreke Smith (Official Thread)

What is a Rivals250 prospect doing on here?

Smith has played a very limited amount of high school football to this point and seemingly every explanation of his ranking has been littered with words like 'potential' and 'upside'. It is time to start realizing that Smith isn't as raw as his level of experience would make you believe. He has showed excellent technique at this camp stops this spring and can really use his hands to disengage.

But perhaps the best thing Smith has done this off-season is that he has trimmed a few pounds and reshaped his body. He looks more like a strong-side end now, not someone who is on the move to the three-tech spot. Smith measured in at 6-foot-4.5 at the Columbus Rivals Camp with a 6-foot-9 wingspan so the physical tools are there to stay outside.

Tyreke Smith is new to football, so imagine how good he can be in a few years. He reminded me, at least with his balance and agility, of Da’Shawn Hand. He doesn’t have the same resume at the same stage, but it’s hard to find kids with that kind of natural ability off of contact.
