Apopka, Fla. (Apopka)

Honors: Ranked the No. 4 downhill runner in the country, the No. 29 running back and the No. 74 player from Florida by Rivals.com … Considered the No. 47 running back by Scout.com … Graded out at 86 by 247sports.com.

Rivals: 3-star

The skinny: Though his ratings slate him among the middle of the pack, Smith fielded offers from some of the country’s biggest schools, including Florida and Michigan. Smith, though, never showed much interest in straying from his commitment to the Vols, and he remains one of the most under-the-radar players in this class. He runs with power but models his game after former Florida standout, Percy Harvin.
