Class: Redshirt freshman

Height/Weight: 6-foot-4, 250 pounds

2020 stats: Did not play due to injury

Projected 2021 role: Backup tight end

The real question about Smith isn't his role; it's when he'll be able to fill it. He tore his ACL last summer and has yet to dress out for practice as his recovery continues. It seems almost impossible to believe he'll be ready for the start of the season in less than three weeks, but he may be able to contribute later in the season. If he can, he'll add a shot in the arm to an already impressive tight end group.
