"I've narrowed it down to two of them," he said. "Tennessee and South Carolina. I'm going to decide then I'm taking my officials coming up."
"I thought it over with myself and I just told myself that I wanted to play in the SEC," he said. "I want to play with the best of the best so I cut Clemson out and I think my best opportunity to play early is at either South Carolina or Tennessee."
Smith said his plan is to visit South Carolina on Jan. 17 and then Tennessee on Jan. 24. It remains to be seen if he'll still be able to visit both schools assuming he sticks to his commitment date of Jan. 13.
"Tennessee is still telling me they want me a lot because they need some more defensive backs," Smith said. "I know they have a bunch of big recruits and they've been encouraging to join them there."
