The USF Bulls, in a press release, said this about his skills:
Smart was ranked No. 1 in Florida and No. 3 nationally at 100 meters among the class of 2017. He played football for three seasons at Auburndale Senior High School, seeing action at running back and cornerback, before taking off his senior year to focus on track. He clocked a school record of 10.3 in the 100 meters and won county, district and regional sprint titles. He also finished second in the 100 meters at the 2016 FHSAA 3A State Championships and third at the national Brooks PR Invitational in Seattle, Wash.
The 5-foot-eight, 160 pound Smart brings a whole lot of speed to the table. 247 Sports listed him as a three-star recruit.
Bulls add more speed to 2017 signing class.
