Houston gets a long, twitchy EDGE with Power-5 upside
Scott Smith, a 2026 EDGE from Central (Baton Rouge), is a 6-foot-4.5, 235-pound Houston commit who brings the kind of frame and length that offensive tackles hate to see on Friday nights. He was rated as a 3-star recruit with national and position rankings in the mix, and he drew Power 4 interest from Mississippi State, Ole Miss, TCU, and Texas Tech before landing with Houston. The fit is straightforward: he looks like a developmental edge rusher with size, upside, and enough recruiting juice to suggest real long-term pass-rush potential.
