This one has actually been in the bag for a while. Smith had told people behind the scenes that he was coming to Texas, but he wanted to take the USC visit just to make sure he was making the right choice.
He did take the USC visit and people inside the USC program actually felt like they made some headway during that trip, but their confidence was misguided. In checking around last week, Smith was still all Texas and had told some people post-USC visit that he was still going to Texas. He visited UT this weekend with the plan of committing before the weekend was over, and the news became official on Sunday night.
Huge pick-up for Texas from one of the nation's most explosive athletes. Love this addition.
