Why veteran DL Tim Smith sees huge potential in this former 5-star for Alabama

Alabama football has three players with “Smith” for its last name on defense, including two on its defensive line.

Tim Smith, a former five-star, is a fifth-year senior.

The native Floridian has been on a College Football Playoff National Championship team and three Southeastern Conference titles teams during the Nick Saban era. A member of the 2020 signing class, Smith was taught the standard of excellence.

He did not play a lot early in his career, but he has grown into a leader. The 6-foot-4, 314-pounder knows his time will soon come to a close for the Crimson Tide.
