Explosive Redshirt Freshman Safety Poised for Breakout with Texas State Bobcats
Jaydon Smith, a 6-0, 190-pound redshirt freshman safety from Ingleside, TX, brings elite ball skills after tying the national high school record with 39 touchdown catches and 1,789 receiving yards on 82 receptions in 2023; now transitioning to defense at Texas State after preserving his redshirt in 2024 at North Texas, his athleticism, speed, and playmaking instincts make him a versatile DB with turnover-forcing upside—perfect for teams needing intense, high-motor secondary help without injury concerns.
