Former Louisiana Gatorade POY, Capers-Smith brings versatility and playmaking to Texas A&M’s secondary
Deshawn Capers-Smith was a standout multi-sport type of defender, earning Louisiana Gatorade Football Player of the Year honors in high school and later showing up for Texas A&M as a reliable, physical DB. In 2018, he appeared in all 13 games with 29 tackles, two pass breakups, a half-sack, and a fumble return, which points to a player with range, toughness, and special-teams/value-added versatility. The main appeal is his competitive edge and ability to contribute in multiple ways, even if he is not a pure stat-stuffer.
