“Due to the recent events I will be opening up my recruitment again,” Smith said. “This is not me DECOMMITING but I want to ensure that my future home will allow me to do both track and football.”

Smith is the No. 251 recruit in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.



He is the fourth-highest recruit in the Gators recruiting class after Buford (Ga.) four-star athlete <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/isaiah-bond-49370/">Isaiah Bond</a>, Flower Mound (Texas) Flower Mound four-star quarterback <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/nick-evers-92496/">Nick Evers</a> and Winter Garden (Fla.) West Orange four-star wide receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jayden-gibson-58649/">Jayden Gibson</a>.



Ocala (Fla.) Forest four-star wide receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jamarrien-burt-55207/">Jamarrien Burt</a> became the first player to decommit from the school after the decision on Mullen’s future was made.



Bond told On3’s Chad Simmons that he has “no comment at this time” about his commitment status.



Evers and Lithonia (Ga.) Deerfield Beach three-star offensive tackle <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/david-conner-31557/">David Conner</a> both tweeted their affirmations that they aren’t backing away from their commitments.
