Tight, reliable long snapper with Texas roots and a steady path upward
Tanner Smith is a sophomore long snapper for Tarleton State in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-0 and 175 pounds, and his value is the kind coaches love: consistency, clean operation, and special-teams trust. He arrived after appearing in nine games as a true freshman at Cisco College in the 2025 season, then earned a spot on Tarleton’s roster from Stephenville, Texas, where he was a first-team all-district pick in high school. For a team, that profile screams dependable, coachable, and ready to handle pressure without needing the spotlight.
