Hollywood Smothers
Make-you-miss back with real open-field juice — 939 yards at 5.9 per carry with 37 catches at NC State in 2025, after a 571-yard, 6.4-average preview the season before. Texas targeted him in the portal for exactly that elusiveness, and the receiving profile (56 catches over two years) is the part that translates on Sundays. However, the resume has a hole where the signature season should be: three schools in four years, never a 1,000-yard campaign, and now a crowded Longhorns backfield where the touches must be earned all over again. At a position the league already discounts, fringe-of-the-draft is the honest read — the R5 simulator slot floating around matches this band rather than contradicting it. What flips it is winning the lead job outright and converting SEC volume into the 1,100-yard season his per-carry numbers keep promising. The efficiency has never been the question; the seat has.
