Third Sooner Junior to Enter NFL Draft

University of Oklahoma Junior CB Reggie Smith has become the third Sooner underclassman to leave school early and enter this year’s Draft. The 6’0,” 196 lb. Smith is a good cover corner who brings a physical style of play to the field. Logging 78 tackles to go along with 3 interceptions and a fumble recovery returned for a TD this past season, Smith’s overall performance was good enough to earn him consensus First-Team All-Big 12 honors. Smith has also contributed on Punt and Kick Returns, demonstrating very good open-field explosiveness in the process. If the toe injury that kept Smith out of the Fiesta Bowl heals in enough time for the Sooner DB to participate in pre-Draft workouts at full speed, Smith stands a good chance to record a 40-yard dash time in the 4.40-4.45 range, and such a mark, when coupled with Smith’s excellent leaping ability, may very well result in an early Round 2 selection for the Oklahoma native.
