PI EXCLUSIVE: 3-Star OT Brody Smith Breaks Down NC State Spring Game Experience

Published

on

3-Star 2026 Offensive Tackle Brody Smith (6’6″/255) was in attendance for NC State’s 2024 Spring Game this past Saturday. I caught up with him to get his take.

What were your overall thoughts of the game? What excited you about the way this team played?

I loved the game, especially watching number 74 (Anthony Belton). He’s a freak. I all around loved the O-Line play.

Who stood out you from the game?

# 74 for sure…he’s very gifted

Did you get to interact with any of the players? Do you have any relationships with any of the Wolfpack players?

I talked to most of the O-Linemen before the game, and I liked them a lot.

What were your interactions with the Coaches like?

All the interactions with the coaches were amazing. I really like the coaches there, and want to continue to build a relationship.

Where does NC State currently in your recruitment?

NC State is 100% one of my top top schools. I really love it.
