Wayne Warriors LB Bryce Smith Makes History with Power 4 Offer
Wayne Warriors linebacker Bryce Smith has etched his name in program history as the first player from the school to earn a Power 4 offer. Smith's impressive showing at the OHSAA's annual Football Kickoff Classic in July 2025 caught the attention of college scouts, who were blown away by his 12-tackle performance in a single game. The Class of 2026 standout's ability to read the opposing offense and make plays in the backfield has earned him a reputation as one of the top linebackers in the state. With 4.5 seconds to beat the clock, Smith has consistently shown the speed and agility to chase down ballcarriers from behind. As the Warriors prepare for the upcoming season, Smith's leadership and defensive prowess will be crucial in their quest for a Division I championship. Scouts are watching for Smith to build on his impressive summer camp performance and demonstrate his ability to dominate games from start to finish.
