Donavon Smith Donavon Smith Donavon Smith 6'0" | 210 lbs | LB/DL Knox Central | 2027 State KY is off to a hot start to his junior year and he continued to impress on Knox Central’s Week 7 victory over McCreary Central. Smith proved to be very reliable against the run, showing the ability to read his keys then use his speed to run all over the field to get to the ball carrier in a hurry. Once he got to the ball carrier, he did a great job of securing the tackle, finishing the game with a team-high 30 tackles along with two tackles for loss. Donavon doesn’t currently hold any offers but he is a player who college coaches should keep a close eye on over the next two years.
