Tide DL target Tim Smith in Tuscaloosa last week.

Alabama hosted four-star defensive tackle Timothy Smith last week for an unofficial visit, the Sebastian (Fla.) River product’s second time back on campus since attending A-Day his sophomore year.

“The trip was amazing,” Smith told BamaOnLine. “They just treated us great.”

Smith had a strong connection with new outside linebackers coach Sal Sunseri when he was on staff at Florida. He’s now focused on getting to know new defensive line coach Brian Baker since he’d be his day-to-day position coach.

“He’s pretty short and sweet, straight to the point,” Smith said of Baker. “I haven’t really seen him in action, like his coaching style or how he does things. I probably have to come up again or to a game to see how that is. But other than that I like him. He’s a pretty chill dude. He says what he needs to say and that’s about it.”

Smith has seen the Capstone twice now, giving him an opportunity to get a good feel for the program.

“I just like the way they operate things. It’s just a good fit for me,” he said of Bama. “The whole tutoring thing, the way that works, the staying on campus the first and second year — a lot of schools you gotta stay on your first year — that’ll help me stay on track with my school work and staying focused.”

Bama landed Jarez Parks out of Sebastian River in the 2017 cycle. The two have spent time together on both of Smith’s visits.

“He’s a busy man so I try not to blow up his phone much, but we still talk,” Smith said of Parks.

As of now, no other visits are scheduled this summer for the 6-foot-4, 340-pounder, but he says he’ll likely take more.

As for leaders, the Sunshine State D-lineman isn’t ready to name any, rather focus on the schools that are making him a priority.

“I’ve just been rolling with the people that have been recruiting me the hardest,” Smith said.

Along with Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU were mentioned as teams firmly in the mix.

Smith is rated the No. 13 defensive tackle and the No. 157 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.
