Tayvion Smith brings freshman-to-sophomore edge and disruptive DL upside at CWU
Tayvion Smith enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-1, 250-pound sophomore defensive lineman for Central Washington, with CWU coaches praising his speed, first step, and knack for causing tackles for loss. He was a two-star recruit and ranked among Washington’s better prospects coming out of Lakes High, where he also earned first-team all-league honors and lettered in wrestling—nice little hint that he plays with leverage and bite. The big question is production, because his listed CWU stats currently show no recorded game stats, so the appeal is more projection than box-score noise.
