Fulton (Miss.) Itawamba Agricultural four-star safety Isaac Smith has picked up an offer from LSU.

Smith is the No. 184 overall prospect in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He is the third-ranked recruit in the state behind Raleigh (Miss.) four-star linebacker Suntarine Perkins and Ridgeland (Miss.) four-star wide receiver Ayden Williams — both of whom are committed to Ole Miss.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has Texas A&M as the current frontrunner.

Smith has an On3 NIL Valuation of $15.7k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Isaac Smith Scouting Summary

Two-way star who runs the ball with patience at running back and plays the safety position with violence and ferocity. Multi-sport standout who plays soccer, baseball and basketball along with football. Stands in at 6-foot, 200 pounds with an impressive 6-foot-5 wingspan. Downhill player who shows no hesitation when entering the box. Jumped an explosive 9-foot-10 broad jump and ran an electronically-timed 4.48 shuttle during the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season. Carried the ball 122 times for 1,336 yards and 23 touchdowns on offense. Totaled 92 tackles, 8 interceptions and forced 4 fumbles on defense during his junior season. Long speed is an issue. Struggles to let it out and eat yards. Ran a lackluster 12.04 100m and 24.65 200m during his junior track and field season. Could potentially develop into an off-ball linebacker if he added the necessary mass given his lack of top end speed. High ceiling prospect that will see progress once he focuses on one position and sport at the next level. Dad, Reggie Smith, played linebacker at Ole Miss during the mid-1990’s.
