Hawks' Safety Trevon Smith Returns to Action
Centennial's Trevon Smith, a 6-foot-1 senior safety, recorded 12 tackles for loss and 5 interceptions in the final six games of the 2025 season, helping the Hawks secure a 4A state playoff berth. The Class of 2027 standout overcame a season-ending ACL injury in Week 3 of his junior year to earn a starting role as a senior. Smith, who has been participating in the team's summer strength and conditioning program, is expected to be a key contributor to the Hawks' 6A defense this fall. He has been working on his speed and agility, and has been studying film to improve his coverage skills. Scouts are watching for Smith's ability to read the quarterback and make plays on the ball, as well as his potential to develop into a shutdown corner in college. His impressive recovery and dedication to his craft have not gone unnoticed by college recruiters, who are keeping a close eye on the talented safety as the 2027 recruiting class begins to take shape.
