Smith, a four-star athlete, is considered one of the top targets in the 2018 class and a must-have talent. The Spartans have him extremely high on their board and there’s a reason for that — he’s an instant impact candidate.
Last week, he announced his top 10 schools.

Michigan State appears in his top 10 along with Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio State, Penn State, Alabama, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Kentucky and Cincinnati. That would be quite the victory if the Spartans could beat out those nine programs for his services.
The four-star athlete from Dayton, Ohio, was high school teammates with redshirt freshman quarterback Messiah deWeaver. However, he’s considered a slight lean to Kentucky and Ohio State. The Wildcats have been making a push lately, but everyone assumed from the beginning that the hometown Buckeyes would be the program to beat.
deWeaver will likely be in his ear throughout the process and that will give the Spartans a fighter’s chance.
