The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Smith is a two-way player for the Red Demons as he plays both as a defensive end and as a tight end.

He only had two catches for 30 yards due to being mostly a blocker at end but should be more of a receiving threat this coming fall.

Due to injury of another defensive end, he ended up starting four games at that position. He made quick work of his opportunity and had 32 tackles (11 solo and 21 assisted), six tackles for loss, and three sacks. It is on the defensive side of the ball where we should see the biggest jump for him this coming season being the full time starter there.

Unfortunately, he is recovering from his own ACL injury from this past season and should be 100% come fall. He is described as a vocal leader and communicator by those around him, he is also a very good student. He carries a 4.0 GPA in the classroom.

Versatile athlete that can play both tight end and defensive end effectively. Good size and speed for either position. Will only continue to get more explosive as he further gets stronger and heals from a ACL injury. Primarily a blocker but shows he is more than capable of being a top notch receiver when called upon. As a defensive end, he lives in the backfield and shows good burst and strength at the point of attack.
