The 6-foot-3 signal caller hails from Fort Meyers (FL) Bishop Verot. He is a four-star recruit on both ESPN and On3 and a three-star on Rivals and 247Sports. But according to the Composite, he is a four-star, the 231st-ranked recruit, and the 15th-ranked QB in the 2025 cycle.
Smith also has a pretty solid offer list that consists of teams like Florida, Florida State, Miami (FL), Ole Miss, Penn State, and Texas A&M, among others.
