Wyoming Cowboys – Nick Smith RS Senior

Standing at 6’4 with a listed weight of 230 lbs, Smith has the same NFL size that Josh Allen had but does he have the same skill set?

The majority of Smith’s playing time came in 2017 due to Allen’s injuries. He started twice and while his bottom line wasn’t awful, the numbers weren’t too impressive either. The biggest thing that should stick out is that both starts ended up as losses in the record books.

While Smith seems to be the heir apparent, redshirt freshman Tyler Vander Waal will not make it easy for him.
