Ourlads' Profile:
2021 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about BRANDON SMITH: Iowa, 6024 222 4.50. Three-year starter, Lake Cormorant, MS. Came to Iowa after a successful high jump career in high school. A high-upside receiver who shows natural ball skill traits. At his size and ability to go up and get it, he can be a big-time factor in the red zone. Wins a lot of 50/ 50 balls because of his late hands, outstanding coordination, and aggressive mentality. His deep speed and route running skill set are ascending. Attractive frame and ball skills. Has a wide catch radius with excellent coordination when it comes to going after the ball. Can twist and turn with late hands to snare the ball out of the air. Doesn’t need space to operate effectively. Has good acceleration to his top speed, capable of stopping on a dime and coming back to the ball. Tracks the ball down the field without any loss of balance. Strong presence on contact. Can get off the jam with a combination of good footwork and strength. Effective high effort blocker. Needs to keep developing his route running. 2020 stats: 23-231, 10.0 ypr, 2 TD. Fifth/sixth round. (A-34 1/4, H-9 3/8, VJ-39, SS-NA).
