This afternoon, in the wake of 5 star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy spurning the ‘Canes for Alabama, Miami began to regain momentum with the commitment of 3 star Trinity Christian defensive back Derrick Smith.
Smith stands at 6’3” 190 lbs, and is known for being a hard-hitter throughout the year. As Smith told InsideTheU’s Andrew Ivins, he expects to compete for playing time early at Miami, an idea Mark Richt has preached to recruits the entire season.
Smith’s addition puts Miami in a comfortable position at safety, where the ‘Canes are also adding Amari Carter and Billy Gibson.
