Jacob Smith offers Kentucky a long, athletic linebacker with upside
Smith is a developmental **6'4", 245-pound linebacker** who has already seen game action in each of his first two seasons at Kentucky, though in a limited role, and his profile points to raw physical tools more than box-score production. Kentucky’s roster notes show he played in four games as a freshman in 2024 and three more in 2025, while EA’s ratings highlight usable traits like **82 acceleration**, **77 tackling**, **79 pursuit**, and **82 finesse moves**, suggesting a defender with range and pass-rush flashes rather than a finished product. He looks like a fit for a team that can develop length, athleticism, and special-teams value.
