Trey Smith could’ve been a first-round pick after the 2019 season.
He was a monster that year. He made First-Team All-SEC, allowed zero sacks, and consistently flashed dominance in the trenches. A lot of your top draft sites had him as a top-10 overall pick heading into the 2020 season.
Instead of declaring for the draft, he chose to fulfill a promise he made to his late mother: He decided to stick around and get his degree at Tennessee.
That wonderful, admirable personal decision ended up a terrible business decision.
