I am an explosive 6'0", 175-pound All-Ohio athlete from the Class of 2025. Excelling on both sides of the ball, my game is a dynamic fusion of speed and football intelligence.
The 2023 season was a defining chapter in my football journey, marked by a staggering 11 interceptions. This accomplishment reflects my relentless pursuit of excellence on the defensive side of the ball. Each interception represents a strategic read, an instinctual play, and a commitment to being a game-changer for my team.
Earning First Team All-Ohio honors as a junior, alongside recognition as First Team All District and First Team All County, has been a humbling experience. These accolades are not just individual achievements; they are a testament to the collective success of my team and the unwavering support of my coaches. Being named Norwayne High School Defensive Skill Player of the Year is an honor I hold with great pride, symbolizing my commitment to being a dynamic force in every aspect of the game.
My versatility extends beyond the defensive realm, as I am equally adept at making plays both as a back and as a receiver. I approach each position with dedication, adaptability, and a passion for success. My speed, agility, and keen understanding of the game allow me to make impactful plays on both sides of the ball. Whether it's intercepting a crucial pass or making a game-changing catch, I approach each play with a determination to contribute to the team's success.
Off the field, I maintain a GPA of 3.7, underscoring my commitment to balancing academic excellence with athletic achievement. I understand the importance of discipline, time management, and hard work in both the classroom and on the field.
Beyond the stats and accolades, I am a student of the game, constantly seeking to enhance my understanding of football strategy and tactics. My dedication to film study, playbook analysis, and understanding the nuances of the game sets me apart as a player who not only reacts but anticipates, a quality I believe is essential for competing at the next level.
Dylan Smith was one of the area's most explosive playmakers on both sides of the ball for Norwayne, but earned his All-Ohio status at defensive back, where he intercepted 11 passes, running back three for touchdowns, in addition to making 41 tackles from his safety spot.

Norwayne also had three players join Smith as All-Ohioans, led by second-team linebacker Dillon Morlock, with Nathaniel Troup (offensive line) and Lucas Dudte (defensive back) as honorable mention players.
Norwayne's biggest strength is its offensive depth, but Smith has proven himself to be the Bobcats' most explosive playmaker again and again this year. The Bobcats find ways to get Smith the ball, whether it is passes down the field, near the line of scrimmage or handing him the ball as a runner. Defensively, he's put together one of the
Norwayne's biggest strength is its offensive depth, but Smith has proven himself to be the Bobcats' most explosive playmaker again and again this year. The Bobcats find ways to get Smith the ball, whether it is passes down the field, near the line of scrimmage or handing him the ball as a runner. Defensively, he's put together one of the best ball-hawking seasons in area history, intercepting his 10th pass of the year last week.
Congratulations to Dylan Smith for setting the season interception record last night and tying the career interception mark! Great job Dylan!
