Massive freshman mauler with blue-collar upside at Lindenwood
Todd Smith enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-5, 335-pound freshman offensive lineman for Lindenwood, bringing rare size and early-state all-conference pedigree from Quincy Senior High[1][5][9]. His profile points to a power-first blocker who can anchor the edge and overwhelm with mass, and his recruitment note that he was Lindenwood’s highest-rated high school commitment suggests real developmental upside[5][14]. With no college game stats yet available, the real question is projection: if he keeps refining pad level and footwork, he looks like a sturdy long-term fit for a physical offensive line room[10].
