Da'Von Smith offers depth backfield value, but his 2024 impact was limited
Da'Von Smith is a versatile depth option for Northwestern State, but his current production has been modest: in the 2024 season he logged 17 carries for 27 rushing yards and also added 5 catches for 53 yards and a touchdown. He brings a run/pass utility profile rather than headline rushing pop, which can appeal to teams looking for a willing complementary piece. His recruiting background also shows multi-sport athleticism and defensive production in high school, suggesting toughness and versatility, but he is best viewed as a role player rather than a featured back right now.[2][4][3]
