I was about ready to come in with a hawt take about rather having Tristan Jernigan in their class since he is bigger and higher rated. Then I went and watched them side by side, and no... no I would not. Tristan Jagagain is just not very impactful. Why they went all the way to Mississippi for this guy I will never know. The one senior game Smith has out on hudl is actually pretty good. He is a good space player in pass coverage, has very good athleticism, and was generally all over the field on both sides of the ball. He gives me a Mo Blackwell vibe but with a thicker frame to grow into. If we can push him up to 230 lbs we could have a pretty damn good player on our hands with a year or two of development. He is still small school raw in terms of his ability to play football with technique, but he is easily a take.
On a side note, A&M is so incredibly fucked at LB. After losing out on Perkins and Hill in back to back classes, if we do flip Smith they are going to be set back at that position for 3 years or more.
