Georgia Bulldogs senior wide receiver Arian Smith has declared for the 2025 NFL draft. Smith finished the 2024 college football season as Georgia’s leading receiver.
Smith, who had one season of eligibility left, is also the fastest player on Georgia’s roster. Smith was Georgia’s top deep threat in 2024 and is departure stings, but Georgia has already added another speedy wide receiver in USC Trojans transfer Zachariah Branch. Smith should run among the fastest 40-yard dash times at the NFL combine.
As a senior, Smith recorded a team-high 817 receiving yards on 48 receptions. Smith hauled in four receiving touchdowns. The most memorable play of his career came in the 2022 Peach Bowl, when he burned an Ohio State defensive back for a 75-yard touchdown in the fourth quarterback to help Georgia win in dramatic fashion.
Smith is not ranked on Pro Football Focus’ 2025 NFL draft big board. Smith had some struggles with drops in 2024, but one NFL team will take a shot on his combination of speed and experience.
Smith announced his decision to enter the draft via social media.
