Tulane Safety with Clutch INTs from a Decade Past
Shakiel Smith, a Tulane Green Wave safety from the class of 2013, made waves early in his career with a pivotal second-quarter interception in the 2010 upset bid against Tulane, setting up a key field goal in a tight 27-21 loss for Southeastern Louisiana—showcasing his ball-hawking instincts and poise under pressure. ESPN's career stats page confirms his defensive contributions, though detailed numbers are sparse post-2010. A Hudl standout from New Orleans, Smith's highlight-reel athleticism and football IQ make him a reliable cover safety, but with limited recent data by 2026, he's best suited for teams seeking veteran depth rather than star power.
