Tyler Smith was a model of durability and trench dominance at Western Carolina
In the 2023 season, Tyler Smith started all 11 games for Western Carolina and capped a career built on 54 consecutive starts, earning first-team All-Southern Conference and second-team All-America honors. At 6-foot-8, he brought rare length, steadiness, and left-side anchor ability, helping power a Catamount offense that led the nation with 504 yards per game in 2023. The big takeaway: he projects as a tough, reliable, high-floor offensive lineman with proven production, clean durability, and real plug-and-play value for a run- or pass-heavy system.
