Devin Smith '25 Recruiting Profile

The sport has not only challenged me physically but has also shaped my character, teaching me the value of hard work, discipline, and leadership. Whether it’s grinding through two-a-days or leading my team in crucial moments, I thrive on the challenges football presents, both on and off the field. I am determined to bring that same drive and dedication to the college level. Football has become more than just a sport to me, it’s a way of life. Every practice and game has pushed me to grow not only as an athlete but also as a leader and a young man. While I constantly strive for excellence on the field, my commitment to academics is equally important. I plan to major in sports science or sports management  allowing me to combine my passion for the game with my interest in sports performance. Although I had to step away from football during my senior year due to a change in schools, I remained dedicated to maintaining a football mindset but also staying in shape by playing basketball and staying in the weight room preparing myself to come back to football. Football is ingrained in who I am, it’s a part of me that never fades, no matter how much time passes. Stepping back from the game only deepened my hunger to return stronger and more determined than ever. I’m ready to bring my relentless work ethic and passion back to the field, knowing that the skills and mindset I’ve honed will always be there.
