USC OT Tyron Smith to Visit Redskins, Cowboys


USC offensive tackle Tyron Smith has visits scheduled with the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys.

Chris Russell of ESPN-980 AM reports that Smith will visit Redskins Park on April 18, while ESPN's Calvin Watkins reports Smith will be in Dallas in early April.

Dallas has the ninth overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, with the Redskins right behind them at #10.

A two-year starter at right tackle for the Trojans, the 6-5, 307-pound Smith is coming off knee surgery that limited him to the bench press (29 reps) at the 2011 Scouting Combine. Smith is scheduled to work out at USC's pro day on March 30.

Smith's size and athleticism project him to left tackle in the NFL, but he could continue to play on the right side opposite a Trent Williams in Washington.
