UA Day Two: Next level comparisons
Advertisement
Comparison: Buffalo Bills linebacker Nigel Bradham, the top-rated outside linebacker and No. 16 overall prospect out of Crawfordville (Fla.) Wakulla.
Overview: Bradham was known as a big, physical hitter who played downhill, covered a lot of space and really leveled people in the open field. That is exactly how Smith plays as well and that's why the two are so similar in so many ways. Both Bradham and Smith get to the football with suddenness and both can play inside or outside linebacker.
DE
Greenville, Ala.
Comparison: Chicago Bears defensive tackle Ego Ferguson, the sixth-best strong-side defensive end and No. 31 overall from Chatham (Va.) Hargrave Military Academy.
Overview: Ferguson and Davidson are tremendously versatile along with being big, athletic and tough to handle. What's also special about both players is that they can play end in a 3-4 set or move to tackle in a 4-3 defense and be perfectly comfortable either way.
WR
Chandler, Ariz.
Comparison: Tennessee wide receiver Marquez North, who missed a lot of time this season because of injuries. North was the second-best receiver in the 2013 class out of Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek.
Overview: Harry has had a tremendous two days of practice at the Under Armour game as he's a big outside receiver, a strong and convincing route runner and he covers so much ground so quickly. That was exactly how North played in high school, and there are plenty of other similarities. Harry is a great downfield threat, he has big hands that catch everything and both have the ability to be game-changers on the outside.
DE
New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr
Comparison: LSU freshman defensive end Arden Key, the No. 13 weak-side defensive end in the 2015 class out of Atlanta (Ga.) Hapeville Charter.
Overview: Key is taller and longer but there are definitely many similarities since both he and Anthony are wiry strong and super athletic. That is the thing that stands out most about Anthony - his superior athleticism coupled with surprising power to beat offensive tackles. The LSU commit has a long body, long arms and can use speed and athleticism to go inside or outside or some nice power to win reps.
