Cannon Smith is the son of former Clemson defensive end Bill Smith, who played for the Tigers from 1977-81. Smith caught 20 passes for 387 yards and four touchdowns as a sophomore.
He was very impressive at last year's Dabo Swinney football camp going through all the drills. He has pretty quick feet for someone of his size.
