Smith gets a lot of undeserved shite on this board.
He played really well as a true freshman and was freshman AA
He was destroying FSUs OL on the first few plays of his sophomore year, then he blew his knee out.
Sure this past year, with a god awful defensive coaching staff, he struggled. But he was still recovering from the knee. Toward the end of the season he was starting to play really well.
He’s a guy who, with the new defensive staff, could have really shined and helped us out a ton had he returned.

Agree 100%. Did not know he was FR AA. In 2021, I remember him providing a good bull rush up the middle compressing the pocket with great leg drive. But as you said, he was still recovering from the ACL injury this season. My brother really keeps up with pro football and knee injuries/comebacks. He says that 1 year for most players is not enough to regain your pre-ACL form. He simply didn't look like the same player in 2023 as he did in 2021.
KWL85 had a good post also.
Old Man River too. Wow, a rarity these days that a thread stays on original topic and the posts are really good.

But he didn’t. He mostly got shoved around like so much dirt by opposing offensive linemen.
