Ja’Quavion Smith #25

Arkansas · LB · Jr · 2028 Draft · Wingate, N.C. · Forest Hill HS

6-1 · 229 lbs

4.4

UDFA

Floor 3.8 · Ceiling 5.1

#2715 overall · #335 LB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Disruptive FCS LB (49 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 3 FF at Howard in 2025) projected into an LB1 role; production is real but a big level jump to the SEC.

Ceiling · 5.1

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.7) · LB lower-value.

Floor · 3.8

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.6.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Howard → Arkansas
