Willie Smith Jr. brings classic linebacker size and upside to The Citadel
Willie Smith Jr. is a 6-foot, 210-pound linebacker from Columbia, South Carolina, listed as a redshirt freshman for The Citadel in 2026, but public stat trackers and the school roster show no game or season statistics yet[1][2][3]. That means the story here is projection: he already has the frame to play inside, and his value will come from whether he can turn that build into consistent downhill toughness, gap discipline, and special-teams impact for the Bulldogs[2][3].
