The player who had one of the best days at South Carolina’s Pro Day on Tuesday never played for the Gamecocks despite trying twice to join the team.
Vyncint Smith, a graduate of Westwood High School in Blythewood, ran a 4.36 40-yard dash in front of pro scouts in South Carolina’s indoor practice facility. That was the fastest time of the day by far and would have been the seventh-fastest time at the NFL Combine this year.
Smith, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound wide receiver who played collegiately at Limestone, also had a 39.5-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-10 broad jump, both bests from the day.
