Navy freshman DE Christian Smith brings size, upside, and a developmental edge
Christian Smith is a 2026 freshman defensive end at Navy, listed at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds after coming through Independence High School, Bishop Lynch, and the Naval Academy Preparatory School. He’s still early in his college career, so the stat sheet is basically wearing a paper bag right now, but the appeal is obvious: long frame, two-sport background, and the kind of disciplined, Army-Navy-fit mentality Navy loves on defense. If your team wants a developmental edge with room to grow into more strength and pass-rush impact, he’s one to watch.
