Monterio Smith brings length, range, and ball skills to ODU’s secondary
Monterio Smith is a 6-3 safety for Old Dominion who flashed real playmaking upside in the 2023 season, appearing in nine games and finishing with 4 tackles and 1 interception, including his first career pick at Liberty.[4] His appeal is the modern-safety combo: size, length, and enough athletic range to help on special teams and in coverage, which makes him a useful fit for a defense that values versatile DBs.[4][6] He hasn’t piled up volume stats yet, but the interception hints at a “don’t test me” mentality that coaches tend to love.[4]
