This kid is IRISH with an offer. Dad played here (Chris Smith) in the early 80s, he went to the Fiesta Bowl and he gleams when he talks about Notre Dame.

Also, he hits like a damn mack truck. Some of the most impressive hits I've seen in awhile. He had one where he hit a RB in the backfield, who fumbled the ball and laid there kicking his legs. I mean, LIT HIM UP!

Also, there is a clip on Rivals that I watched where he was playing FB. He left the backfield about 7 yards in a pass route, noticed his QB was being pushed back out of the pocket and he went back and BLEW UP the two defenders that were chasing his QB. That kid didn't move for awhile, either.

After watching his clips, he has moved into my Top 5 LB list.

If they're going to get a legacy, I hope it is Brian Smith at MLB. His video made me forget all about Kyle Jackson.

I posted this on May 2. From the minute I saw this guy's highlight reel, I immediately adjusted my wish list. I like Kyle Jackson a lot, but Brian Smith is someone I like even more.

I must have missed that because I normally check out whomever you recommend. He hits so damn hard I had snot bubbles coming out my nose. I think he is a must get kid regardless of star rating.

Since he is a legacy, the tradition means something to him, so he would be a positive kid to have in the class, sorta like the glue of the class. Man, just impressed. I'm sure his grades are all squared away too coming from a Domer family and playing at a Catholic school like he does.

I put Smith up there with Richetti Jones and Major Wright....that's how much I like him.

You see his video and you can't help but be impressed by him. If ND ends up with Nagel, Smith, Dailey and Martez Wilson at LB I'll be pretty happy.

I get the feeling Paskorz will end up being in there and Dailey will not.

Hey, if you boys are that high on him, I like him too. I would love to see the film that you guys saw. In the Getting To Know Each Other thread, I stated that Glenn Earl was my favorite Domer of all time. I love how that dude popped. Left no doubt on every tackle. From the sounds of this kid, he's built of the same mold.

If you have any way of putting some film of the kid on here, I would appreciate it.
