Corey Smith

SS, OLB · Cincinnati
One of several prime prospects from Cincinnati's 2008 defense, Smith is a potential three-down starter because of his strength and coverage ability. Teams using a Tampa-2 scheme will particularly be interested in the four-year starter's skill set, possibly to play in the middle. He moved from the inside to the outside for his senior season because of team need at that spot. Although he never made an all-conference squad, he has been a productive linebacker over his career with 265 tackles, 31 for loss and three interceptions.
