Will it be a case of "third time's the charm" for 2016 defensive line prospect Kobe Smith?

The 6'3", 315-pound defensive tackle prospect from Georgia will make his college intentions known on Jan. 10. Formerly committed to both North Carolina State and Kentucky, Smith will make his ultimate decision between UK and South Carolina.

However, he won't go through the hoopla of a grand announcement. Via The State, Smith will instead simply opt to enroll in the school of his choosing at the end of this week.

A run-stuffing defensive tackle, Smith needs to work a bit on both his conditioning and technique. However, the potential is there for him to be a quality player down the line.
