The Top 10 moves into the top five as one Tiger received that phone call that every athlete dreams about, the chance to take their game to the next level.
Cornerback
Tye Smith had an incredibly strong Tiger career and he capped it with a spectacular senior season.
Smith, a 2014 first team All-CAA selection, routinely shut down one side of the field as one of the best cover corners in the nation. As the final cornerback standing on the Buck Buchanan Award Watch List earlier this season, Smith led the Tigers with eight pass break-ups. He started all 12 games during his senior season, and his 85 tackles ranked second on the team. Smith ended his career with 312 tackles, the fifth most in Tiger football history.
On May 2, Smith got a chance to take his game to the next level when he was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks.
Smith became the sixth player in program history to hear his name called on draft day. He joins former Tigers –
