is a talented DL from Huntsville who’s found a ton of success in back-to-back seasons.
“Cawthorne is a force in the trenches who generates a ton of push on the line every down. He is terrific against the run- consistently closing rushing lanes, fighting off blocks, and wrapping up the ball carrier at and behind the line of scrimmage- never giving up big gains on his side of the field.
Cawthorne can also generate a ton of interior pressure on pass plays, frequently helping his teammates collapse the pocket and coming away with some timely sacks. I’m impressed with Cawthorne’s leverage- he gets low and generates a ton of power, consistently overwhelming smaller and less strong OG/Cs to dominate the line of scrimmage.“
Huntsville’s defensive front is going to cause a ton of problems for opposing offenses this next season, and Cawthorne is a large reason why. Make sure you take a look at his film below, you’ll be impressed.

Smith has quietly become a force up front, blending size, strength, and quickness with a relentless motor. His anticipation off the snap puts him in position to blow up plays before they develop. Even when double-teamed, he shows the core strength and balance to hold ground and impact the run game. Smith’s pursuit effort stands out — he’ll chase down plays from the backside and refuses to quit on reps.
