Westlake High School wide receiver Travis Smith Jr. is a major target for the Tennessee Volunteers. He's scheduled to be back on campus this spring to see the Vols again - Smith had a visit lined up in February but couldn't make it to Knoxville, Tennessee, due to inclement weather.

The Georgia Bulldogs are pacing this recruitment, but there's still time left before Smith decides. On Sunday, he took time out of his college visit schedule to perform at the Under Armour Camp in Atlanta, Georgia. The UA Camp brought a lot of stars out, but Smith ranked as the No. 5 overall performer, according to On3.

"Travis Smith looked to have the best combination of size, functional movement skills and consistent hands among the wide receivers at Under Armour Atlanta. The Atlanta (Ga.) Westlake standout was a smooth operator on Sunday. Looking to be around 6-foot-3.5, 200 pounds, Smith has a readymade build with plus length. He impressed with his ability to get off of the line, stacking defensive backs with his releases. Smith is a polished route-runner, effortlessly dropping his weight to change directions and break off defenders mid-route. He also flashed arguably the smoothest ball skills on-hand, plucking the ball away from his body throughout the day. Smith will need to continue adding to his top gear in order to consistently separate vertically, but his overall skill level and size stood out on Sunday. Smith, who ranks as the No. 74 overall prospect in the On300, is trending towards Georgia according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine." On3's Charles Power on Travis Smith Jr.
