This article from yesterday's Orlando Sentinel reports on his recruiting status.

Partial quote from a 02/23/16 article by Scout.com:

"Smith is off to a great start. He’s coming off a junior campaign where he recorded 91 tackles, six sacks, 24 tackles for loss and a pick. Moreover, Smith has solid grades in the classroom, and a growing offer list to boot.

Right now it’s still early in the process, and I’m taking my time and checking out these schools,” said Smith, who has no intention of committing before his senior season. “I don’t really have a preference for conference or a dream school or anything like that. Big Ten, SEC, ACC – I like them all.”

Smith holds offers from Cincinnati, Florida Atlantic, Louisville, Iowa State, Maryland, Nebraska, North Carolina and Old Dominion.
