Maurice Smith was a big signee in the class of 2013 for the University of Alabama.
Not only was Smith one of only two classified defensive backs (Anthony Averett was signed as an athlete), he was a high-profile target landed from the state of Texas, a state where it's tough to pry a student-athlete away from the Longhorns or Aggies.
Entering his junior season, Smith has contributed as a nickel defensive back, but this year he's ready to prove his worth through his willingness to play any position.
The 6-foot, 199-pounder plays all over the secondary.
