low-mileage back with upside, but Houston Christian fit still needs proving
Smith has shown only a small 2024 sample at UL Monroe — 7 carries for 16 yards in the 2024 season — so the stat line is modest, but that also means there’s plenty of runway for a fresh start. He’s listed around 5'9", 200 pounds, which hints at a compact, physical runner, and recruiting notes describe him as a versatile back who values academics and can handle other skill roles if needed. For Houston Christian, he looks like a developmental depth piece with upside rather than a proven producer.
