Dorian Smith is a shifty, local South Alabama change-of-pace back with splash-play upside
In the 2023 season, Dorian Smith flashed big-play ability for South Alabama, producing 32 rushing yards and a touchdown on just three carries, plus a 34-yard, two-touchdown outing against Southern Miss; in 2024, his role shrank to one carry for nine yards, but the tape and stats suggest a compact, explosive runner from Mobile who can hit space fast and finish drives. He looks like a fit for a team that values burst, versatility, and depth over volume, though he’s still more of a developmental piece than a proven every-down back.
