When Florida recruited Jordan Smith, it saw a long, athletic defensive end with tons of upside who could eventually contribute nicely in the pass rush.
But the big key as an early enrollee for the 6-foot-5 Smith, a three-star recruit in the 2016 cycle, was to develop physically once he arrived at UF in January. He certainly made some progress in that department this spring - after weighing in at 225 pounds at the start of the spring semester, Smith checked in at 238 at the start of spring practices in March.
