Quick, Experienced MSU Corner With Special-Teams Edge
Maurice Smitherman was a quick, talented Mississippi State cornerback who carved out a real role over four seasons, appearing in 42 games with 8 starts and finishing his MSU career with 48 tackles, 2 interceptions and 3 pass breakups. In the 2019 season, he entered the year as a preseason All-SEC honorable mention and was described by the program as a “lockdown corner,” with value on special teams and the toughness to hold down a starting job before injury shortened his final stretch. He’s the kind of DB whose speed, experience and competitiveness make him attractive for a disciplined secondary.
