Tom Allen has done it again.
For the second straight recruiting cycle, the Indiana coach has landed a four-star receiver. This time, it’s Atlanta native Jaquez Smith, who announced Saturday that he had settled on IU over offers from Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Tennessee and Michigan, among many others.
Considered the No. 31 receiver in the 2021 recruiting class and the No. 173 player overall, per the 247 Sports Composite rankings, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound Smith is the Hoosiers’ highest-rated recruit of the rankings era.
“Trusty receiver with good size and range, strong hands and crisp route running,” 247 Sports national recruiting editor Brandon Huffman wrote.
