Georgia native Lecitus Smith was just a 3-star recruit coming out of high school. He was also recruited as a tight end. Four years later, he’s one of the top offensive line prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft, and has met with the Pittsburgh Steelers - who are in need of an offensive line influx.
Smith starred at Virginia Tech, earning All-ACC second team honors in 2020, while receiving bundles of praise for his nasty streak and relentless effort in the trenches. Smith earned an invite to the 2022 Senior Bowl (where he spoke with Pittsburgh), and flashed his major potential just a few weeks ago during practices. Here is a rep against stout Alabama DT Phidarian Mathis, in which Smith bullies him around:

His tape speaks for itself. He's played against some of the best in the ACC and has more than held his own. He's also 23 years old, so he will enter the league with more polish than a younger prospect, even though he's only been playing on the offensive line for 4 years. You may think, how is that possible? Well, take a look. Here against UNC at left guard, where he started the majority of his games, he just puts this defensive tackle into a body bag:
Yoooooooo

While Smith is a monster between the lines, he’s also well-versed in cooking, has his own YouTube show with his girlfriend, and is just a highly likable dude in general. You’ll most certainly find that to be the case.
I’d continue on with a detailed scouting report, but I know for damn sure you’d much rather
hear it from him instead of me. He breaks it all down on the Yinzer Crazy Podcast above - and you WON’T want to miss his Mike Tomlin story!
