Smith plays with extreme intensity. He hustles and he plays the game the right way. We've seen him make big plays; he just hasn't been as consistent as coaches would like, though there's certainly every reason to believe it will start to click this fall.
If it does, you're talking about a potential All-SEC performer. Knowing Smith’s background and work ethic, don't be shocked to see this happen.
Behind him, "grinder" would be a good description of the veteran Robert Beal, who very quietly goes about his business, outside the spotlight typically reserved for some of his more well-known teammates.
Beal is a smart, durable performer, who understands what position coach and defensive coordinator Dan Lanning expects from him.
