Nolan Smith is a lean, athletic defender who played for Georgia and has the potential to be a good pass rusher in the NFL.
The Arizona Cardinals are set to bring him in for an official top-30 visit, according to Aaron Wilson.
His draft projections range from as high as the top 15 to in the second round.
He is 6-foot-2 and 238 pounds but has a long 81-inch wingspan.
He never had more than 4.5 sacks in any season, but his 4.39-second 40 time and 41-inch vertical are intriguing at the next level.
In 2022, he played in only eight games, totaling 18 tackles, three sacks and seven tackles for loss.
He is lean but long and athletic.
He could be in play for the Cardinals in the second round or he could be a target if they trade down from the third pick, depending on how far back they go.
