Tight End

South Carolina Gamecocks

Coordinated athlete who has an all-around skill set as a tight end prospect. Measured at around 6-foot-4, 245 pounds prior to his senior season. Has average length relative to his stature. A productive pass-catcher who caught double-digit touchdowns in back-to-back seasons to close out his career. Caught 28 passes for 638 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior. Lines up all over the formation, splitting out as a receiver, moving in-line and working as a H-back. Flashes high-level ball skills. Tracks and extends for high-difficulty grabs, making impressive adjustments. Naturally coordinated. Strong in jump ball situations. Abuses corners in contested situations when targeted. Shows promise as a blocker. Physical and willing. Even worked some at cornerback. May not blow you away in one facet other than in contested situations, but has few holes to his game. Can continue improving his ability to pick up yards after the catch. 

Michael Smith Scouting Summary

Michael Smith is one of the more versatile tight ends in the 2024 cycle. The Savannah (Ga.) Cavalry Day tight end had a strong afternoon at Under Armour Atlanta. Smith won several 1-on-1 reps in impressive fashion, showing the ability to run past defensive backs and finish at the catch point. He hauled in multiple touchdowns on Sunday afternoon. Smith looked to be more filled out than most of the other tight end prospects on hand. He’s an explosive athlete with a thick, 6-foot-4, 230-pound build.
