Lento Smith Jr. brings downhill thump and back-end production to Tulsa
In the 2025 season, Tulsa safety Lento Smith Jr. was a second-team All-American Athletic Conference selection after finishing second on the team with 79 tackles, plus an interception, four pass breakups, and two tackles for loss. He started all 12 games and stood out as a compact, physical defender who plays with urgency near the line of scrimmage, with one outlet even comparing his fearless style to Bob Sanders. If you want a safety who tackles like he means it and shows up in big moments, he fits.
