promising MTSU linebacker with multi-sport toughness and upside
In the 2025 season, Micah Smith was a redshirt freshman linebacker for Middle Tennessee who played in one game and logged seven snaps against FIU, preserving a year of eligibility. He arrived as a three-star recruit with a strong prep résumé: 45 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, four sacks, five pass breakups, and an interception at Ensworth. The fit? A physical, versatile LB with take-on ability, blitz juice, and obvious development upside—more “future problem” than finished product.
