Ne'Land Smith is listed in various places as a 6-3, 180-pound prospect who played wide receiver for Blue Springs High School in Missouri, the same school that produced Carlos and Khalil Davis. Smith also has participated on the track and field team.

Talk about under the radar. He's not even listed on the Rivals database that I can see.
That's what the JournalStar says. He was a pretty average high and long jumper on the track team it appears. Never know what he could grow in to with some time in the weight room though. Daddy is a large man.

Doesn't that picture make everything feel riright again?
25 years of NFL experience and 3 Super bowl wins I think. GBR
Maybe I should know this, but who is on the far right? And anyone else just can't stand that color of purple? At any rate, any son of a former Husker is a welcome addition, no matter how high he projects or how much playing time. He is living a dream and dad should be proud. Glad to have him
If I remember correctly Neil came in as a pretty skin kid that filled out pretty quickly. I won't be surprised if his son grows in to a TE before he's done.
IIRC dad had the fastest electronic timed 40 for a D Lineman in the history of the program, at least at one time, but it might still stand. Like a 4.64 or something crazy like that, and this was well before his senior year.
If he can put on some size and has that kind of speed, look out.
I don't know about the speed. I think he triple jumped 41 ft, long jumped 20+ and high jumped around 6ft. It doesn't appear that he ran sprints. That makes him a decent athlete but not great. That said, he's 6-3 and looks like he's a kid that will be a late bloomer. Nothing hurt by having Neil's son walk on and see how he grows up.
Did a full stadium tour this past week, and saw Neil walking around. Still a giant man. Spencer Long, and a few other ex-Huskers were in their working out as well.
