Gavin Davis-Smith gives Sacramento State a veteran, tackle-hungry safety with playmaking upside
In the 2024 season, Gavin Davis-Smith was Sacramento State’s most experienced returning defensive back, listed at 5'11" and 198 pounds, and he finished with 65 total tackles, fourth on the team and the most among returners. He has shown real ball skills too, including two interceptions against Cal Poly in 2023, and his value goes beyond the box score: he’s a steady, versatile defensive back who moved from nickelback to free safety and was recognized as an Allstate AFCA Good Works Team nominee. If you want a reliable, physical, high-motor safety with leadership juice, he fits.
