Top 2025 WR Terrence Smith Down to Final 2 as He Preview Decision

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='331441' first='Terrence' last='Smith'] of West Aurora is one of the top prospects remaining on the board in the 2025 class.&nbsp; He is a high level wide receiver that is absolutely electric.&nbsp; We wrote on him recently</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Smith is a 6'4" wide receiver that is also a top 20 hoops prospect in the state.  He has been picking up a lot of momentum on the football side with the way he has been playing.  First thing that stands out is his tremendous size at 6'4" with elite athleticism and ball skills.  High points catches in traffic whether on the edge or going over the middle.  Very good hands snatching the pigskin out of the air on the regular.  Long strider that seems to glide down the field.  Tracks the ball well in the air and has good body control during the catch. Can do some work on short routes too catching a bubble screen for a 60 yard TD.  Should develop into an elite redzone threat as was shown on tape where he was a TD machine!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He is the #22 overall prospect on the Prep Redzone Rankings and #3 wide receiver player.&nbsp; We caught up with him to chat about the latest on his recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“It is looking good right now.&nbsp; I have it narrowed down to Iowa and Minnesota.&nbsp; I have been on official visits to them and like what they are talking about.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the Iowa Hawkeyes he said.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“I like a lot about Iowa.&nbsp; I know they have some new coaches and offensive coordinator along with wide receiver's coach.&nbsp; I like the staff, players, and head coach.&nbsp; I like what they have going on.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it comes to Minnesota the senior said the following.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“PJ Fleck and wide receivers coach Matt Simon got a lot of experience at the NFL level and with wide receivers.&nbsp; They can definitely develop me as a player and get me to where I want to be.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What is his timeline for making a call?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“Sometime soon.&nbsp; I don't have a set date, but soon.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He spoke with us about what he is looking to separate the two programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“I have to have a good bond and connection with the coach.&nbsp; That goes a long way on and off the field.&nbsp; Somewhere that feels like home and can develop me for the next level.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is looking to make a big impact in the Big 10!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“I think I bring everything to the table.&nbsp; I can spread out the field and do whatever you want.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
