With an All-American in Deebo Samuel and a potential All-SEC player in Bryan Edwards, Shi Smith can often seem like the forgotten member of South Carolina’s heralded wide receiving corps.
But after a strong freshman season in which he racked up 409 yards on 29 receptions, Smith enters the 2018 season poised to be even better, according to his teammates.
“One guy that’s elevated his game even more over last year is Shi Smith,” quarterback Jake Bentley said. “He’s made some plays where you just go ‘Wow, that’s a big time play.’”
Smith came to USC known for his explosiveness, and he’s already cemented a reputation for being one of, if not the fastest player on the team.
