Oklahoma State Taps Into Family Connection for Another 2023 Corner Commit

STILLWATER – So many things going on as the current Oklahoma State squad reported over the weekend and began summer school and summer workouts on Monday. The camp season for Oklahoma State football continues with “The Show” camp for quarterbacks, wide receivers, and defensive backs on Monday night (June 6). One of the participants in “The Show” made it official earlier in the day as Dylan Smith out of Braswell High School outside of Denton, Texas has committed to the Cowboys.

The 6-0, 175-pound Smith is in town for the camp and his older brother Cam Smith is starting his second season as a Cowboy football player. The younger Smith had offers from Arkansas, Colorado, Louisville, Nebraska, Indiana, Kansas, and Houston among others. He made his official visit to Oklahoma State back in April on the weekend of Oklahoma State’s spring football Spring Finale. The thought was he was going to wait a little while and then make his verbal commitment. If a month and a half is a little while then that is exactly what he did.

Obviously, his older brother being here helped with his recruitment, but Dylan Smith told us back in April that his visit went very well.

“It was a great visit,” Smith told me. “I’ve been at Houston, SMU, UNT, and Arkansas on unofficials. This was my first official. I don’t have anything else scheduled now.”

The highlight of the visit? Smith said meeting the new defensive coordinator Derek Mason.

“The meeting with Coach Mason,” Smith answered when I asked what on the visit stood out to him. “It was to get the relationship going. It was really good.”

Smith is capable of playing anywhere in the secondary, but will likely be a corner. Last season at Braswell he had 25 tackles, one tackle-for-loss, four interceptions including one returned for a touchdown. He also had 12 passes defended.

We will make sure to speak with Smith tonight after “The Show”.
