“Yeah, it was good, I got to talk to all of the coaches,” he said on if Friday’s visit helped solidify his commitment. “It made me feel happy to be there.”
Despite his commitment to the Gators, Smith says he may visit two other schools that are recruiting him hard.
“Probably LSU and Georgia,” Smith said on other visits. “They will probably be unofficial visits.”

“Florida has been my dream school since I was little,” he said on why he committed to Florida. “My mom really liked it, I liked it. It feels like home. It became real when I put the helmet on.”
