Notes:
The unquestioned leader of the Syracuse defense, Smith earned First Team All-Big East honors in 2005 and Second-Team honors in 2004...Finished a solid career with 293 tackles, 14 interceptions five fumble recoveries and four forced fumbles...As a senior, Smith was a ball hawk, amassing six interceptions and eight pass breakups to go along with 71 tackles, three sacks, three fumble recoveries and a blocked kick...Burst onto the scene as a sophomore with 106 tackles and five interceptions...Has great instincts and is usually around the ball...Big hitter...Vocal leader on the field...Because of his size, durability may be a question at the next level...Lacks the speed (4.57 40) to recover from a misstep...Takes himself out of plays on occasion because he is too aggressive...Makes up for lack of size with toughness and great football instincts.
