IPS Take On Teshaun Smith: Long and athletic, Smith fits the recent mold of cornerbacks inked into the Wolfpack's program.
All of 6-foot-3, Smith shows true lockdown cover skills on film. He is physical at the line of scrimmage and has the ball skills you covet in cornerbacks.
Smith could potentially grow into a safety or even a nickelback, but as of now he's ticketed to play cornerback.
Look for Smith to redshirt this year and contribute in 2019.
