As mentioned, the past two seasons, Smith has done nothing but improve his draft stock and is one of the best players on Penn State’s defense. He brings a ton of experience and versatility to the table.
As of right now, Smith is currently projected to be a 3rd round draft pick in 2022. However, there is a lot of football left and Smith could certainly raise his draft stock, especially with tough opponents like Ohio State and Michigan State coming up throughout this stretch.
Smith has all the talent in the world to be a starting linebacker in the NFL. If there is one thing Penn State has done a good job of, it’s developing their linebackers for the NFL, and Smith is one of those guys.
