Gregory Smith III

School: Sumner High

Hometown: Riverview, FL.

Height: 6-4

Weight: 200

Position: defensive back

247 Ranking: 3-star

Recruited by: Austin Armstrong

Enrollment date: January of 2024.

Notable: Smith had a big senior year that helped him pick up several big offers including one from the Gators in the fall. Smith visited Florida several times and liked the defensive scheme the Gators have in place.

Quotable: “Safety, corner, outside linebacker, just the secondary,” Smith said on where Florida wants him at. “I like the scheme; I like how the defensive backs played in and I feel like I can fit in their defense. They said they’re low on safeties so I would be able to come in and play fast and play as a freshman.”
