Georgia football product Arian Smith is turning heads at the Reese's Senior Bowl.
Smith reeled in a "nasty" catch on Day 2 against Western Kentucky's Upton Stout.
This touchdown catch by Smith followed up his Day 1 performance, which also caught plenty of attention from spectators and NFL scouts.
Smith played in all 14 games with nine starts for the Bulldogs in 2024 and finished reeling in 48 catches for a team-high 817 yards and four touchdowns.
His numbers could have been much higher if it weren't for the several dropped passes throughout the season.
However, known for his speed, Smith showed he could make those game-changing plays as he did all year to make up for his drops.
“Everything he does is full speed,” Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said of Smith ahead of the SEC Championship Game. “And there’s a reason he gets thrown a lot of balls: He’s open. He’s the fastest guy on the field.”
According to several 2025 NFL Draft scouting reports, Smith is currently slated to be a Day 3 pick. But his overall performance at the Senior Bowl will be crucial to increasing his draft stock, which is headed north, for now.
