Lane Kiffin absolutely knocked it out of the park with his hiring of Kevin Smith to be his running backs coach at LSU. Smith has been with Kiffin on multiple occasions at both Ole Miss and Florida Atlantic, and his development of players such as Quinshon Judkins and Kewan Lacy have LSU fans excited about the Tiger running game in 2026.
Smith is wasting no time getting to work at his new job, as he's reportedly already spent time with his top recruiting target. In his first day at LSU, Smith met with freshman star running back Harlem Berry.
