๐จLouisiana Ragin Cajuns Commit๐จ
๐ฅClass of 27 DL๐ฅ
Kobe Smith- @k2_kobesmith
6-2/260
Moreauville, LA
Frame:
Long arms, broad shoulders, and a developing lower half that supports power at the point of attack. He projects as a high-motor EDGE who can slide inside to 3-technique or 4 in college schemes.
Athletic Testing:
(from Prep Redzone Louisiana Stock Up Showcase events):
40-yard dash: 5.00โ5.13 seconds (explosive first step for size).
Shuttle: 4.68โ4.82 seconds.
Broad jump: 8โ2โโ8โ5โ.
L-drill: 7.03โ7.75 seconds.
Scouting Report:
First-Step Quickness & Burst:
Good get-off for a 260-pounder; consistently beats blockers to the edge or gaps.
Hand Usage & Power:
Violent, active hands; strong punch and rip moves; can anchor and drive O-linemen backward in the run game.
Motor & Pursuit:
High-effort player who chases to the sideline; excellent quarterback pursuit noted by UL coaches.
Versatility:
Lines up at DE, DT, and EDGE; can drop in coverage occasionally due to athleticism from basketball/track.
Upside:
Still raw but improving rapidly with dedicated training; three-sport background suggests room to grow into a 270โ280 lb frame without losing speed.

As AD of Avoyelles, I couldnโt be prouder of what our student-athletes and coaches accomplished during this school year. Being the only school in AVP to earn a playoff spot in every team sport offered speaks volumes about the hard work, commitment, and pride within our programs.
SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes โ mostly boys โ are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.
William La Jeunesse: โOf 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.โ
โจโOn the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this yearโs NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.โ
CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!

Congratulations Kobe. Proud of this young man for officially committing to play college football at @RaginCajunsFB . As his coach, I couldnโt be more appreciative of the effort heโs poured into our program, and Iโm excited to watch him lead the way during his senior season.
First and foremost,I give all glory to God because without him , I am nothing. I want to thank my family and coaches for supporting and believing in me. With that being said Iโm excited to announce that I have officially committed to @RaginCajunsFB@michaeldes1@JFitzTV
