Gopher football has had 5 defensive backs drafted over the last 6 drafts and Terell Smith looks like he’ll make it 6 of the last 7.
Minnesota Career
A long career for Smith for the Gophers that started out very promising and ended with an outstanding senior season. In between, Smith struggled with consistency and earning playtime.
In the era of the transfer portal and players quickly leaving when playing time isn’t earned, tremendous credit should be given to Smith for staying in Minnesota and putting himself in a position to be drafted.
As a true freshman, Smith started 9 games at corner in 2018 and was named the team’s Outstanding Defensive Freshman.
