R6 · #216 · Green Bay Packers"A big-legged range specialist in the Cameron Little mold: the kickoff and 50-plus equity is NFL-ready, and the job depends entirely on whether the short-range misses get cleaned up."Pre-draft read
Trey Smack operates as a compact-approach kicker, generating power from short steps and precise hip-to-strike timing. His contact produces immediate and steep elevation, a critical attribute for kicks from 50 yards or more, providing clearance over defensive lines and minimizing block potential. He demonstrates a high leg backswing on shorter attempts, with most avoidable misses occurring inside 40 yards.
On kickoffs, he prioritizes height alongside distance, maintaining an average hang time around four seconds while sustaining a touchback rate near 75 percent. His technique shows degradation from the right hash, where he demonstrates an early hip opening and pushes the ball. He actively participates in kickoff coverage, exhibiting a willingness to tackle.
NFL special teams schemes that value kickers with elite long-range capabilities and consistent touchback production on kickoffs.
Smack projects as a Day 1 starting placekicker with the potential to be a top-tier weapon from extended range, particularly valuable in offenses that seek to extend scoring opportunities.
A system that prioritizes short-range precision and consistently asks him to kick from the right hash where his technique degrades.
His ability to reliably convert from 50+ yards and consistently produce touchbacks makes him a valuable specialist, provided his short-range inconsistencies from specific hash marks can be coached up.

Trey Smack Career Highlights | Welcome to the Green Bay Packers
Repaso de carrera tras su selección en la sexta ronda por Green Bay.
Trey Smack projects as a long-range kicker, coveted by teams needing a specialist comfortable from 55-plus yards due to his consistent deep-ball performance. His ability to clear defensive lines with a steep trajectory off the foot, combined with a career 10-of-13 record from 50+ yards, makes him a valuable prospect for extending a team's scoring range. The Green Bay Packers drafted him in the sixth round, signaling belief that his technical inconsistencies are coachable.
After a true freshman year marred by a partial groin tear that limited him to only kickoffs in seven games, Smack became Florida's starting field goal kicker in Week 3 of 2023. He maintained this role for three full seasons, accumulating a 53-of-64 field goal record and a 100-of-101 extra point record. He set Florida's career record for 50-plus yard makes, earning two Lou Groza Award semifinalist nominations and third-team All-SEC honors in his senior year.
The primary concerns surrounding Smack involved his accuracy on shorter attempts, with most of his 11 career misses coming from manageable distances. Evaluators identified a tendency to open his hip early from the right hash and a high leg backswing as potential factors contributing to these lapses. The market had him as a late Day 3 prospect, with the Packers taking him 216th overall.

A reliable range specialist who bounces between rosters as an in-season replacement.
A big-legged college kicker who wins a job as a rookie and holds it by cleaning up the short misses.
Camp leg whose accuracy variance keeps him off a regular-season roster.
Everything above is the pre-draft evaluation. This section is what actually happened — updated year over year.
His college career splits into two very different halves. In 2022 he was an invisible specialist: a partial groin tear in camp cost him the first six weeks and when he returned he kicked off only, seven games without a single field goal attempt. From Week 3 of 2023 through the end of 2025 he was the uninterrupted starting kicker for an SEC program under constant pressure, and that is where the entire file was built: 17 of 21 as a sophomore, 18 of 21 as a junior with 44 of 44 on extra points, and 18 of 22 as a senior including the 56-yarder against Long Island and the 54-yarder against Georgia that gave him Florida's record for kicks of 50-plus.
The projection reads cleanly: the range is NFL caliber and proven against real defenses, while the misses cluster in the stretch where the league expects automatic. Green Bay takes him in the sixth betting that the right-hash technique and the leg backswing are coaching adjustments rather than structural flaws, and that a kicker comfortable from 55 changes the fourth-down decision map at Lambeau.
