New Mexico safety Aaron Smith brings speed, range, and a playable 69 rating in College Football 26
Aaron Smith profiles as a useful New Mexico defensive back because his EA SPORTS College Football 26 ratings point to real range and burst: **85 speed**, **89 acceleration**, **82 pursuit**, and **69 zone coverage**. That combination suggests a safety who can close quickly, clean up plays, and fit as a versatile back-end defender rather than just a box hitter. The main reason to care is his athletic upside and all-around usability; the question for a team is whether his coverage instincts can consistently match his movement skills at the college level.[14]
