caught our attention as a freshman and continued to stand out this season. Smith lines up at defensive tackle where he is very impressive as a pass rusher. He uses his explosive speed to shoot the gaps before opposing offensive linemen have a chance to block him. Once he gets through the line of scrimmage, he does a great job of finishing at the quarterback, finishing the season with eight sacks in 11 games. He also showed the ability to stop the run, accounting for 62 tackles and 12 tackles for loss. Smith doesn’t currently hold any offers but he is a player who I expect college coaches to have on their radar this season.

has had a very impressive sophomore year and he continued to stand out in Campbellsville’s win over Newport Central Catholic last week. Smith lined up at defensive tackle where he was very disruptive as a pass rusher. He showed the ability to explode out of his stance and use his speed to shoot the inside gap before the opposing offensive line had a chance to react. Smith did a great job of finishing at the quarterback, recording four sacks in the win. He also showed the ability to stop the run, finishing the game with nine tackles and a forced fumble. Julian will be a player to keep a close eye on as he continues to develop moving forward. Smith and the Eagles have a tough test ahead of them this week in a road semifinal matchup against Kentucky Country Day.

, a defensive lineman at Campbellsville Middle School. Smith impressed me at the line of scrimmage due to his ability to be explosive off the snap and cause chaos for the offensive line. I also liked how Smith could stun the opposition with his size and strength.
