TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One today announced the Team of the Week for Week 24 of the 2025 regular season, with Chattanooga Red Wolves SC goalkeeper Jason Smith named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball with five saves in a shutout road victory against Texoma FC.

The first-year professional recorded his seventh League One clean sheet of the season, helping Chattanooga return to the top of the table with a five-save shutout victory against Texoma. Matching a career-high five saves in a single match, the 22-year-old became just the third first-year professional goalkeeper to record seven or more clean sheets in a single League One regular season.

"I am grateful to receive player of the week and very happy with my recent run of form," Smith said. "Individual awards are nice, but they are a testament to the strength of our group. I am fortunate to be a part of a team that pushes me to be the best version of myself day in and day out. I think that the values of hard work, standards, and togetherness are seen in our collective effort every single weekend.

"Finally, I'm thankful for the mentorship and preparation Ricardo Jérez provides to help me continually improve. Scott [Mackenzie]'s trust in my ability and Ricardo's guidance have been instrumental in me showcasing my strengths."
