The Hardin Co. senior signal caller has all the tools you need to play on the D1 college gridiron as he sports the size (6'3 190), arm talent and feel for the game that could allow him to see the field sooner than later on the next level. That statement is made due to his senior film through six games as Smith looks bigger, more fluid with his body movements along with increased arm strength. Looking at as much quarterback film as I do, Smith is one of the more underrated available senior quarterbacks not just in this state but the entire country and I think he will be a steal for whoever signs him. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cbu003eSr Improvement: u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eSmith has filled out more with his body, which in turn has placed more strength in his right arm.

Looking over his early season film, the Lions senior signal caller has vastly improved several areas about his game that has me thinking Streeter is a legit D1 caliber quarterback. He has size (6'2 195) arm strength, poise and a good feel for the game. Streeter runs a balanced offense at CPA, so his numbers aren't as large as others but the future Blue Hen has tremendous upside as a gunslinger on the collegiate level. I see a high ceiling here with Streeter and someone that I think could warrant D1 looks if he ever decides to enter the portal once in college. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cbu003eSr Improvement: u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eStreeter has gained weight and it shows with his arm.

He is decisive, poised and sharp in the pocket with his demeanor and throwing motion. Tarleton has sharpened up his mechanics, which in turn has increased his arm strength and became more accurate. What I'm liking the most about this Nashville area passer is his comfortability with the offense he is running and leadership he brings to the table. Tarleton has definitely taken a step up with his game, which I believe makes him a legit FCS prospect that could see a spike in his recruitment before it's all said and done. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cbu003eSr Improvement: u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eTarleton has made some of the best improvements of all QB's from the #TN2024 class.

Roberts is a different player this year compared to previous season's as he looks the part of a D1 guy and someone that has his team currently in position to compete for a state title. Through six games, Roberts is one of the best statistical passers in the state and that's due to his command of the Bears offense as well his improved skill set that his him in contention for Mr. Football honors. What I see on film is a quarterback that has developed his mechanics further along with putting more strength in that right arm. His athleticism has evolved as well. Roberts shows nice pocket awareness and mobility on film that can increase his recruiting stock but also help his offense continue to put up big points.
