Name: Rickey Smith
Position & Size: Outside Linebacker/Safety, 6-1, 200 Pounds
Hometown: Orlando, Florida
Ranking: 3*
Other Offers: Liberty, Marshall, The U, FAU, Missouri, UCF, USF, West Virginia
Thoughts:
I believe Rickey was recruited to play the hybrid OLB/Safety position that we saw Jalen Graham playing this season.
At 6-1, 200 pounds, he definitely will need a year to get stronger in the weight room before he plays OLB in the B1G.
He does have a high ceiling through, he runs and tackles a lot like Jalen Graham and I see him as a similar player to Jalen.
Welcome to Purdue!
