OFFICIAL: WR Reese Smith Signs with West Virginia

WR Reese Smith
From: Boyle County HS/Danville, KY
Height/Weight: 5’11” 180 lbs
Offers: Ball State, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Tennessee, Troy, UAB
Quote from Smith:
“I could tell that they really wanted me because I would be a really good fit for their offense and they showed me film multiple times to prove it. I love coach Brown and coach Trickett, both awesome guys and easy going.”
Scouting Analysis:
Not the biggest receiver in the world, but size doesn’t always matter in college football, especially when you have the speed he has. Can absolutely fly and is a tough tackle. Gives great effort and can make all of the tough catches in coverage.
Playing Time Projection:
With many returning at the receiving position, don’t expect a ton of playing time for Smith in 2020. However, I do expect him to get a minimum of four games, possibly more if he begins to stand out during camp.
