Dan Smith was a tackle machine for Marist, but the latest available data is historical
Dan Smith’s profile screams old-school linebacker: in the 2006 season, he led Marist with 94 tackles, and in 2006 he was also ranked 25th nationally in tackles at 9.8 per game; he followed that up with double-digit tackle outings and even a Marist-record 20-tackle game in 2007. He looks like a tone-setter with high motor, reliable run support, and captain-level leadership, which is exactly the kind of presence a defense loves in the middle. If you want a downhill, physical LB who lives around the ball, Smith’s your guy.
