Plyler on Smith: "I saw him as a sophomore and junior and at the time I thought he was a better football player than current Tiger Corey Lambert. I think he is a better run blocker than Lambert, but they are similar in a lot of ways. As he gets bigger and stronger I can see him becoming a major part of the plans at tackle."


Reminds Plyler of: Corey Lambert
