Montclair, NJ- Announced by the Associated Press (AP) on Thursday afternoon, Montclair State University offensive lineman THOMAS SMITH earned himself the title of Third Team All-American for his outstanding performance on the field in 2025.
 
Smith adds this honor to his list of accolades after being named D3football.com Third Team All-Region II and First Team All-NJAC this season. Tom was the anchor of a dominant Red Hawk offensive line. He started all nine of his appearances and helped guide an offense that ranked in the top four in the NJAC across every major statistical category. Under his leadership, Montclair rushed for a school-record 27 touchdowns, and the offensive line surrendered just six sacks all year, with Smith not being responsible for a single one.
 
This will be back-to-back years where the Red Hawks earn an AP All-American, with NICHOLAS BURGESS and ARNOLD YOUNG both being named Second Team All-American in 2024.
 
The Red Hawks, in 2025, finished 5-5 and 4-3 in NJAC play.
