Anthony Smith brings playmaking upside and backfield disruption to Norfolk State
Anthony Smith profiles as a disruptive, assignment-sound linebacker whose best traits are his ability to create negative plays and affect the passing game; Norfolk State’s roster notes credit him with 5.5 tackles for loss and two quarterback hurries, plus three interceptions and four pass breakups, showing real all-around impact in 2024. That combination of run stopping and coverage production makes him valuable for a team that wants a linebacker who can stay on the field in multiple situations. The main fit question is whether he can sustain that impact against higher-level offenses, but his instincts and versatility make him an intriguing add.
