Trent Smith was a matchup monster for Oklahoma — a silky, productive TE with big-game juice
In the 2002 season, Trent Smith gave Oklahoma a rare do-it-all tight end presence, finishing with 46 catches for 396 yards and 5 touchdowns, after a breakout 2001 campaign with 61 receptions for 564 yards and 6 scores. He was a key contributor on OU’s 2000 national title team and earned All-Big 12 recognition, showing reliable hands, enough size to work the middle, and real chain-moving consistency. The best fit for him: a team that wants a quarterback-friendly, high-floor TE who can win underneath, stay composed in big moments, and quietly wreck a defense’s plans.
