Indiana DB Zacharey Smith: a long, rangy ball-hawk with verified turnover production
Zacharey Smith is a second-year Indiana defensive back who arrives with real takeaway juice: in his junior season at Hapeville Charter Academy, he led Georgia with eight interceptions, and Indiana listed him as a 5-foot-11, 177-pound DB for 2026. He was a consensus three-star recruit and was ranked among the top-80 defensive backs nationally by ESPN and On3, which lines up with the tape-friendly profile—active hands, good instincts, and enough confidence to jump routes. He looks like a fit if your team wants a competitive, ball-searching DB with upside rather than a finished product.
