Trevon Smith: From Injured Reserve to Starting Tight End

Middlebury Tigers tight end Trevon Smith has made a remarkable recovery from a season-ending ACL injury suffered in the spring of 2025. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound senior was a key contributor in the Tigers' passing game, hauling in 25 receptions for 375 yards and 3 touchdowns in just seven games. Smith's impressive athleticism and sure hands have earned him a starting role heading into the 2026 season. As a junior, he was a key blocker in the run game, helping the Tigers average 4.2 yards per carry. Scouts are now looking to see how Smith will adapt to a more prominent role in the Tigers' offense, particularly in the red zone. Will he be able to maintain his production despite increased defensive attention?
