Jack Smiechowski brings playmaking pop from the linebacker spot
Smiechowski has emerged as an active, disruptive linebacker for Columbia, appearing in all 10 games as a sophomore and posting 26 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble, with an earlier game featuring 2 interceptions that helped swing momentum. His value goes beyond the box score: he shows a nose for the ball, plays with impact in space, and has been trusted as a leader, which suggests a high-effort, competitive profile. He looks like a strong fit for a defense that wants an instinctive, turnover-capable linebacker who can make splash plays.
