Warren Smith Jr. brings length, speed, and growing playmaking upside to Sacramento State’s secondary
Smith is an active, rangy defensive back who has steadily carved out a role through multiple seasons, including 10 tackles, 7 solo stops, and pass breakups in 2025 after logging reserve work at Washington State in 2024 and a redshirt season in 2023[2][11]. His differentiators are his movement traits and coverage profile—EA lists him with strong speed, acceleration, agility, and above-average zone/man coverage grades, which fits a DB who can match up in space and trigger quickly[6]. For a team, he looks like a useful fit if you want a versatile, developing corner with real coverage tools and special-teams value rather than a finished-product star[6][2].
