Miami Hurricanes 2021 signee Chase Smith who is projected to play striker emerged during spring practice. Smith provides the Miami football team with the versatility to play striker or be a more traditional linebacker. During the Hurricanes Spring Game this past Saturday, Smith led the defense with seven tackles and had a pass breakup.

Playing with the second-team defense, Smith was able to showcase his speed, ability to pursue the ball carrier and adeptness in pass coverage. Smith played both offense and defense at Bayside High School in Melbourne and was labeled one of the most versatile players in the Class of 2021.
