Oregon State Beavers assistant coach Jason Phillips is one of the coaches on staff in charge of recruiting the Southeast region.
So, when Oregon State cornerback Treston Decoud told him to check out the tape of Eddie Smith, a player Phillips had never heard of, he wasn't sure what to expect.
It's safe to say he was impressed.
Smith, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound cornerback out of Salmen High School (Slidell, Louisiana), picked up an offer from the Beavers recently, which immediately established them as a top contender.
"I talk to the DB coach, Coach Hall, a lot," he said.
