Alabama Linebacker Has USC & Clemson Offers
By Phil Kornblut

LB Petey Smith (6-0 240) of Seffner, FL is a heavily recruited prospect with close to 50 offers thus far including USC and Clemson. Some of the other offers are Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Miami, Auburn and Florida. Smith said he's getting a lot of mail from USC but hasn't yet talked to any coaches. He has talked with Clemson recruiter Chris Rumph who got to know him while recruiting his brother, RB Eric Smith, who signed with Auburn. "I visited Clemson with my brother on his official visit," Smith said. "I have a good relationship with coach Rumph. I'm supposed to go to Clemson for summer camp but I don't know if I'll be able to do it." Smith has been to Florida, Florida State and Central Florida for junior day. He does not have a favorite right now. "Around the end of spring football I'll sit down with my parents and try to pick out five to seven schools to look at real close." Smith missed eight games last season with an abdominal injury. He still managed 80 tackles with three sacks.

It's gonna be difficult. Maybe one of the ways of recruiting Petey may also be to heavily recruit his teammate DE Ryne Giddins (4-star) who is a good pass-rusher!

It's just a thought.....I don't know if the two are close or not!

Here's a video of Ryne Giddins.....

Auburn Slight Leader For Smith

By Phil Kornblut
 LB Petey Smith (6-0 240) of Seffner, FL says Auburn is slightly out in front for him right now "because my brother is going there. Auburn is recruiting me the hardest. They are sending mail non-stop like crazy from different coaches letting me know they are thinking about me a whole bunch." Smith has over 50 offers including Clemson. He said he's getting a lot of mail from the Tigers but hasn't talked to recruiter Chris Rumph lately, though Rumph knows him well from recruiting his brother. Smith plans to trim his list to about five or seven schools early in the summer. He plans to visit North Carolina and Ohio State, and he hopes to visit Southern Cal and Oregon this summer. And he plans to camp at Auburn and attend Florida's Friday Night Lights.
