Travis Smith Jr. is Tennessee football’s highest rated receiver in its 2025 recruiting class and early in his high school senior season he’s proving why.
Smith showed off his high end talent on Saturday night, taking a screen pass on the right side of the field, reversing field all the way to the left pylon for a 20-yard touchdown while breaking five tackles in the process. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound receiver’s touchdown proved critical in Westlake High School’s 23-7 win over Douglas.
