Because USC has clearly regressed and he has accomplished as much as he possibly could in the NCAA. He clearly has NFL aspirations given his resume.

Quickly becoming my favorite Vol.

If he moves to LB I won't feel bad at all about missing on Luc. Him+Taylor = Greatness.

"It feels good. I feel like we still should have got some more players. I think they're just a little bit scared of the change (of commitments)."

quotes from Smith per VQ....

I wonder who he is referencing to?

Smith displayed flashes at both rushing the passer and roaming the field at linebacker.

"The thing I like is that I'm still an in-betweener. I could be able to go to two different positions, and hopefully coach (Monte) Kiffin and coach (Ed) Orgeron will be able to see that," Smith said. "Maybe I could be playing d-end and outside linebacker. Or one or the other. It doesn't matter. I just want to play ball."

I think it has a lot to do with him having a huge ego and being abe to control the whole personnel process at Seattle. He will have them pick a GM that will conforms to his way of thinking and, 7 mil a year doesn't hurt

With what is coming out now about Jac, is there anybody in the know who would know where he would actually fit best. At LB or DE?

IMO either would suit him. I think he would see the field quicker at DE, but he would be a good fit if we needed an OLB. I know one thing. When his jersey is up for sale, it will be one that i own.

Give me 22 kids with this attitude and we will be building new trophy cases every year. Very excited to have him on our team!!

True that. Attitude to do what is needed is what will get this team past what most consider the more talented teams. Players with heart can beat out players with talent. Example: Utah against Alabama last year.

I love that, you know that he is going to give 100% every time he is on that field wearing the vols uniform

No doubr in my mind that Smith will be THE leader for our D. He will be the heart and sould of our D like Al Wilson. This kid is the best!

IMHO I would put him as a LB right now, maybe move him later. He's the closest thing to Al Wilson I have seen, bulk and attitude!
