Jake Smith brings versatility and a defensive edge to Air Force’s secondary
Jake Smith’s most notable differentiator is versatility: Air Force moved him from quarterback to safety, and in 2022 he appeared in 13 games with five total tackles, including a career-high two at Utah State. That kind of position switch usually signals a coach trust profile—athletic, adaptable, and willing to do the dirty work. He projects as a depth-and-development fit for teams that value intelligence, buy-in, and special-teams or subpackage flexibility more than splashy stat lines.
