Reliable linebacker depth with program familiarity
Smelser is a New Mexico linebacker whose value is in reliability, system familiarity, and steady special-teams/depth contribution rather than flashy production. The official Lobos roster and team pages show him as an active program piece, but public stat detail is limited, so his case is more about trust, assignment discipline, and being coachable than headline numbers. If you want a LB who can plug into a structured defense, communicate well, and handle role-player duties without drama, he looks like a sensible fit; if you need a stats-driven impact defender, the public evidence is thin.
