2028 Fairmont Senior K Ben Smith Ben Smith 5'9" | 140 lbs | K/P Fairmont Senior | 2028 State WV has earned a varsity role for the Polar Bears in his sophomore season. We expected him to do just that when we ranked him as an early Top 5 specialist in our 2028 rankings this summer. Smith has been perfect on PATs, converting on 28/28 attempts and his lone field goal attempt. His touchback ratio has also been solid for a young kicker, as Smith has shown leg strength potential to match his accuracy in the early stages of his career.

2028 Fairmont Senior K Ben Smith Ben Smith 5'9" | 140 lbs | K/P Fairmont Senior | 2028 State WV may emerge as the Polar Bears’ starting varsity kicker as a sophomore. He’s a young specialist to follow for the next three years as he develops. Smith will be battling a senior for playing time this season, but will be their guy as an upperclassman if he doesn’t win the job as a sophomore. He’s developing and improving quickly, which should get him on the field sooner rather than later.
