South Pointe [COLOR= rgb(178, 34, 34)]DB Chris Smith [/COLOR](5-10 178) picked up his biggest offer to date on Tuesday when USC co-defensive
coordinator Lorenzo Ward contacted his coach and informed him he wanted him for the Gamecocks. Smith also has offers from Old Dominion, Mercer, Furman, Coastal Carolina, Campbell, Miami of Ohio and Gardner-Webb. Those are all good offers but Smith realizes the USC offer takes his recruiting to another level.
“When they offered me I was like so excited,” Smith said. “I jumped up and said, for real? So, they jumped into the lead.”
Despite his excitement over the offer, Smith isn’t ready to jump to a commitment.
“I’m still looking around but maybe later in the season I’ll commit,” he said. “I may wait for the season to play out but it might be earlier. I just don’t know.”
USC, of course, has had quite a run of success with players from the Rock Hill community and Smith is very familiar with some of the names like Clowney, Gilmore and Holloman. Beyond that though, he’s tried to familiarize himself with the program and the university.
“I heard they have a great education program for one,” Smith said. “And for two, the defense, if you put the work in, you can come in as a freshman and start.”
Smith has visited Mercer, Louisville and Charlotte and he plans to visit USC once he talks with ward “to see what the atmosphere is like.”
Last season Smith had 71 tackles with 5 interceptions. As a receiver he had 10 catches and accounted for 600 all purpose yards.
