He’s the first Bulldog signee to be ranked as the nation’s No. 1 player in his class since 5-star DT Trenton Thompson in the Class of 2015.
Smith committed to the Bulldogs in January 2017. That decision came days before he would move to IMG Academy. There has been no Bulldog committed longer to the class than Smith. That’s despite his status as the nation’s No. 1 overall prospect for this cycle on the 247Sports composite.
Smith will wear Lorenzo Carter’s No. 7, after receiving Carter’s blessing while a recruit.
