It looks like someone might just follow Julian Lewis’ playbook of ditching the Trojans for the Buffs. Well, Julian was once the crown jewel of coach Lincoln Riley’s forefront, but his exit and rumors of his inclination towards Buffs Riley already lost a battle. But they are in deep-rooted misery with Carde Smith’s exit from the team. Now if both of them make their anticipated move towards the Colorado Buffs, it’s going to be one of the biggest recruiting victories of the Buffs Nation. But for now, let’s know more about Smith and his gameplay.
Williamson’s top offensive lineman and four-star recruit Carde Smith’s recruiting saga are among the hottest topics in the CFB world. If you think USC is his only stop, then you are wrong. Smith committed to Auburn way before considering the Trojans. But only if that could have stayed longer. However, the guy is ranked 269th overall and 26th in the nation for offensive tackle, which gives him free will to choose his desired team and make amends with them.

Furthermore, considering the current condition of the USC Trojans in the ongoing season, it is not surprising that Carde Smith has decided to make a switch. Now that he is free from the constraints, there have been revelations that increase Smith’s chances of ultimately choosing the Buffs. Shortly after the news of his de-commit went viral, On3 analyst Chad Simmons made a significant revelation, stating, “Smith sees an opportunity to play right away in Boulder.” This claim is undeniably true. Coach Prime is determined to make the Buffs a formidable offensive team, just as they have excelled in their defense with 21 tackles this year.
But the question is pretty simple: will all this add up in the end and make Colorado Carde Smith’s final destination, or is the young player planning on something out of the woods?
Is Colorado Carde Smith’s ultimate destination?
Deion Sanders and his offensive line coach, Phil Loadholt, have been dying to get Carde Smith on the team since the season started. When Carde got an offer from the Alabama Buffs, put a solid offer on the table just before he made his sudden shift to the USC Trojans. Even after his verbal pledge to the Trojans, the Buffs didn’t lose their hope. They made Smith visit Boulder two times for the games during the fall. Now you can understand their desperation towards him. But now that no one has their hands on him, there is no way Coach Prime will let this moment go away by Buff’s making an effort to get Smith’s commitment.
Moreover, even Carde Smith felt Buffs’ vibe inside him after coming back from his visit. He even talked about his experience and the amount of satisfaction he felt after coming from the university, saying, “It was amazing; I love the energy.” The young offensive tackle also revealed how eagerly the Buffs are waiting for his commitment. “They want me bad. They have been pushing for me ever since they offered me, and ever since then, it has been amazing. They have been reaching out at least once a week.” It’s quite evident from Carde Smith’s statement that Colorado has always been his side chick. Now that his relationship with USC is finally over, there are chances he might run towards the Buffs.
