Connor Smith brings size, pedigree, and trench toughness to Army's defensive front
Connor Smith is a 6-foot-4 defensive lineman whose profile is built on length, physicality, and proven high-school disruption—he arrived at West Point after being a King County Lineman of the Year and a multi-sack, high-tackle impact player at Issaquah, where he recorded 125 tackles, 68 tackles for loss, and 13 sacks in high school. His Army bio shows he earned early game action in 2017-18, but the broader appeal is the kind of sturdy, battle-tested interior presence he projects: a lineman who can eat space, hold his ground, and bring a tough, team-first edge that fits Army’s identity.
