Draft Scouting Report
Pro Comparison: Justin Simmons
Summary
Genesis Smith is a versatile, long-framed safety who excels when playing downhill and attacking the ball. While he has a massive wingspan that helps him break up passes and flashes straight-line speed, he can struggle with fluid movement and lateral transitions. He plays with high energy and a physical mentality, though he’s more of a reliable wrap-up tackler than a truly explosive hitter.
About
- 2025: Third-team All-Big 12 (coaches)
