Luke looking to make Mississippi connection pay off with OL target Mitchell Smith

Will Mississippi finally pay off for offensive line coach Matt Luke?

Luke, the offensive line coach at Clemson, hails from Mississippi, and he has gone back to his home state a few times looking for talent for the Tigers. He’s not hit on one yet, but he’d like to change that with OT Mitchell Smith (6-5 310) of Picayune. Smith visited Clemson two times this spring, one for a practice and most recently for the spring game.

“I loved it there,” Smith said. “I think the way they do things there is very unique to what Clemson is, and I felt like they don’t try to imitate nobody but themselves.
