Smith was expected to be the backup behind starting junior cornerback Kevin Toliver this upcoming season. Expect redshirt freshman Andraez "Greedy" Williams and sophomore Kristian Fulton to move up the depth chart with the departure of Smith.

It is unknown at this time where Smith will transfer to but an LSU spokesperson has confirmed that he is leaving the program, according to Ross Dellenger.

???? Wasn't he suppose to be a projected starter this year!?

Solo Cam•95 months

No. People thought he could push for the nickel though.

BayouBengal61•95 months

Nah DJ and Kevin Toliver were undoubtedly the presumed starters. Smith was 3rd on the CB depth chart

BlackTiger89•95 months

So he mad cuz he couldnt beat out DJ and KT lmaoo ur the number 3 corner u will see the field as much as them.. For subs and all these super heavy passing teams... Just dumb!

Solo Cam•95 months

Well....that sucks

slackster•95 months

How does the binder suggest we address this?

saint tiger225•95 months

Yaw yaw, wild boys!!!

Ragin' Tiger•95 months

This is a tired joke.

Dead End•95 months

Wtf Joe?

Whynotme•95 months

Good kid, but realizes he will probably not see the field much. Good luck!

HoustonGumbeauxGuy•95 months

I am always puzzled when a 5-star kid leaves like this. Do we know why?

airfernando•95 months

Smith was a composite 4 star

CreoleKid24•95 months

You're either all in, or you're not! Good luck kid!! GEAUX TIGERS!

Disgeaux Bob•95 months

Candy arse

Spankum•95 months

Hopefully, he is transferring for more playing time somewhere else. good luck to him and thanks for being a tiger.

LeggauxTigers•95 months

Cream rises, luckily we have the most 5 star DBs enrolled in all cfb

BayouBengal61•95 months

Wow, this was a bit unexpected. I read that Kristian Fulton had him beat on the depth chart. This kid is still a baller and I wish him nothing but the best going forward

WilliamTaylor21•95 months

So now he has the same number of quits as he does suspensions.

LSU FSU Grad•95 months

So, one year and he's leaving? That's not much fight. What did he expect? A starting job to be handed to him? I wish him luck, but he was the 3rd or 4th CB this year, as a Soph, at DBU. That says something. Unfortunately, so does leaving.

deathvalleyrox27•95 months

them IMG boys don't like sittin' it

Mr.Perfect•95 months

Well he's about to sit a full year so you are incorrect

YellaPurp•95 months

That's why i always say.....give me a 100 3 star Tyrann Mathieu's who wanna be at LSU over 5 stars acting like privileged Kardashians. It's all about competing not hand outs.

lynxcat•95 months

TM was not a 3 star.

kciDAtaE•95 months

Bold statement. You want 100 of one of the best DBs to come out of LSU ever....no shite

CL8100•95 months

you right lynxcat tm was a 2 star but in his mind he was a 5star

cattus•95 months

If it's about playing time right now this is a mistake

CalTiger53•95 months

So he wants to be a starter somewhere with less competition? That is not how NFL works.

Lexman1•95 months

Actually, if he can go anywhere he can get on the field so scouts can see what he can do, he has a better shot at the NFL than sitting on the bench at LSU.

jayboy504•95 months

Lex that's not how it works.... Jalen Mills started 4 years for LSU and went in the seventh round (Almosf undrafted). So more time on the field doesn't = better shot in the NFL. Competition produces greatness!

wesman21•95 months

You know what this means, FULTON is shutting people down at practice.

c on z•95 months

Good luck Saivion.

TigerFanFromBama•95 months

The BIGOTS never fail to show their face when a player chooses to do what he feels is best for him. Good Luck Saivion!

Whynotme•95 months

Unfortunately this site has quite a few bigots on it. As a white man who looks at the individual not their color I'm confused with this unnecessary bigotry.
