Co-starting with three other backs Smith is listed as a co-starter for Louisiana-Lafayette with three other tailbacks on the Week 1 depth chart, per Cody Junot of ESPN 1420 Lafayette.

Impact Smith is listed as a co-starter alongside Steven Blanco, JJ Garner and Anthony Reagan. The second-year back logged just three carries last fall, but in what appears to be a crowded running back room, he'll get his shot to make an impact.
