‘23 GA LB Jalen Smith (Tennessee commit)

[bigl3327]

They have him listed at 200- 205 on most sites. But he's 6'2 with a wide frame.

Naturally lean muscular guy. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he's 220 by the time the season starts.

He's already closer to 215-220. It was stated in an interview shortly after he committed.

After he committed?

So he'd been playing at that weight basically all season! That's awesome. Was not aware of that.

It certainly shows on film. Plays with suprising power. Now I know why lol

Dude will play early and often.

If he was an EE, he would have a great shot at starting as a freshman.

Up to No. 406 nationally and a composite 4 star on 247.

He is an EE and is participating in Bowl practice as we type.

I wish there was a report on every recruiting profile that explained why the recruit is not rated higher

That would require actual knowledge and the ability to evaluate.

Reason why isn’t ranked higher is because verified Height, Weight, 40 time

So he’s short, light and slow?

There already is. If the player didn't sign with Bammer, UGAly or tOSU, then his rating is diminished or held back.

The fact it took this long shows how inconsistent these recruiting services all

Him being the 32nd ranked LB is preposterous too. With how he played this season I don’t see how they don’t have him as a top 20 LB

The worst part is that this is the 2nd year in a row that he's had this type of production playing against some of the best competition in GA.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Instinctual as they get at that position

Which is some of the best competition in the entire country. The only reasoning behind it that I can think of is because he looks undersized and doesn’t look like he has the frame to bulk up to that 230 range

He’s already 215


In this era, he can put on 10lbs and be just fine

That’s kinda the purpose of a “ranking”. The reason is because the people doing the ranking think the players ranked ahead are better amd the players ranked below him are worse

So was Terrence Lewis and they had him as a 5* and the #1 LB in the country at one point.
