4-Star Blue-Chip OL Monster Bringing Elite Size and Intensity to Colorado
Carde Smith is a 6'6", 310-lb offensive tackle from the 2025 recruiting class, ranked as a top-150 blue-chip prospect by 247Sports, ON3, and Rivals. Known as a 'MONSTER' on film, his differentiators include elite raw size, a 'nasty' playing style, and the intensity of a player who reversed course from USC to join Coach Prime, signaling fierce loyalty and ambition. Though he played only 11 snaps (mostly PATs) in the final three games of the 2025 season, his physical profile and high-intensity personality make him a perfect long-term fit for any team needing a dominant, game-changing left tackle with four years of eligibility remaining.
