DeAndre Smelter brings pro pedigree and receiver development to Georgia Tech
DeAndre Smelter is best known as a former Georgia Tech wide receiver who was drafted by the 49ers in 2015, and his current Georgia Tech role is as a graduate assistant rather than an active player. His value is less about box-score production and more about pro-level credibility, receiver technique, and mentoring young wideouts; that kind of background can matter if you want a coach-minded, detail-oriented presence around your program. He is a fit for development and culture, not for on-field WR production in 2026.
