Hunter Smith brings efficient, versatile production to Temple’s backfield
Hunter Smith is a senior Temple running back who combines efficient rushing, usable receiving value, and some return-game utility, making him more than just a standard carry-eater. In 2025 at Temple, he logged 62 carries for 403 yards and 2 touchdowns, adding 6 catches for 54 yards, after producing 507 rushing yards and 3 scores at ULM in 2023. His calling card is steady chunk-play ability—he has shown breakaway juice and enough versatility to stay on the field in multiple roles, which is attractive for a team that wants a dependable, scheme-flexible back.
