Young USF edge with real disruptive upside
Levi Smiley is a rising South Florida DE who, in the 2025 season, posted 9 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks, flashing the kind of length-and-strength profile that can turn into steady edge production[4][9][14]. At 6-foot-4 and around 260-268 pounds, he brings a sturdy frame, was used as a two-way player in high school, and still looks like a developing piece rather than a finished product[1][11][13]. The fit is appealing if a team wants a young, physical edge defender with growth runway, not an instant double-digit-sack headline machine[1][15].
