The 2022 Miami Hurricanes have some question marks on the roster, but none are as big as the ones at linebacker. Keontra Smith can hopefully answer some with another season at the position under his belt.
As an undersized linebacker, Smith gets around the field well. Originally recruited as a safety, Smith moved to striker under Manny Diaz’s defensive scheme. He then became a weakside linebacker and had his best season to date.
As a member of the 2019 recruiting class, Smith was a four-star safety and a top 200 recruit in the country. He mostly played on special teams as a freshman, finishing the season with two tackles.
