Bradyn Smith brings veteran tackling juice to Western Illinois’ secondary
Bradyn Smith is a steady, physical DB for Western Illinois whose calling card is production and reliability: in the 2023 season, he led the Leathernecks with 73 tackles in just nine games and added a pass breakup and two forced fumbles. He’s been described as the team’s returning tackles leader and a veteran presence after navigating multiple coaching changes, which suggests resilience and buy-in. If a team wants a hard-nosed defender who shows up around the ball and helps set the tone, Smith absolutely fits the bill.
