Myels Smith is a brawling interior defensive lineman whose frame, first-step quickness, and physicality remind us of Jeffrey Simmons. Like Simmons, Smith is very productive as a finisher behind the line of scrimmage at the high school level. Smith's projectable size and athleticism are prototypical at the position, similar to Simmons. Smith is more filled out at the same stage, at around 300 pounds. 

A big space eater and could grow in to a true nose or play as a traditional tackle. Has a projectable 6-foot-3, 295 pound frame with room to add good weight. Put up huge numbers as a junior including 91 tackles, 30 for loss and 10 sacks. Quick off the ball and flashes one of the better get-offs in the country. More than just a straight line guy, shows some lateral quickness and plays on the other side of the line of scrimmage. Has strong hands, plays with good pad level and an active motor. Can physically overwhelm an opposing guard/center with his size and power and has been one of the state’s more productive tackles since he was a freshman.
