Smoot retained his third overall ranking with this update, he has been making quite the highlight reel of plays during the 7v7 circuits. He truly is one of one and will have an established role on both sides of the ball over at Loudoun Sports Academy. Had to show his one handed interception below again just to remind you in case you were wondering.

I am going to save more on my thoughts with Caleb Smoot Caleb Smoot 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB/WR Loudoun Sports Academy | 2028 State VA for later in the week as he had one of the best plays I have ever seen live. Now playing for Loudoun Sports Academy Caleb Smoot Caleb Smoot 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB/WR Loudoun Sports Academy | 2028 State VA was doing Caleb Smoot Caleb Smoot 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB/WR Loudoun Sports Academy | 2028 State VA things, making highlight reel plays and making receivers look foolish. It is going to come to a point most likely during his junior season where teams will just stop throwing to his side altogether.

Smoot’s early offer list includes Maryland, James Madison, and Howard. With the season he just had, I expect the offer count to go up some more. He caught 41 passes for 838 yards and 15 touchdowns on offense and made 60 total tackles and intercepting one pass on defense. If I had to choose, I like him a LOT as a wide receiver. Smoot is electric after the catch. He’s a vertical threat and has that pull-away ability. Smoot’s short-area quickness is impressive as well.

The University of Maryland was the third FBS school to offer Osbourn’s Caleb Smoot Caleb Smoot 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB/WR Loudoun Sports Academy | 2028 State VA this past weekend. Smoot has had a highly impactful sophomore season for the Eagles with 10 touchdowns, he is our 6th ranked overall prospect in the 2028 class. He is still growing and already has a long reach and ball skills that remind you of his father’s playing days. Maryland was wise to offer him over the weekend, expect more Power 4 schools to follow.

Perhaps the MVP on the day should not come as a surprise anymore with Caleb Smoot Caleb Smoot 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB/WR Loudoun Sports Academy | 2028 State VA being the 6th ranked prospect in the state. I swear every time we cover him he looks more dominant, as a rising sophomore he looks college bound already. Smoot consistently shut down opposing defenders it was very difficult for any squad to score on the Eagles defense.

He has a swagger to go with him and him and his teammates are fun to watch. By seasons end he will have many Division 1 suitors begging to come visit their campus.

Named WR MVP, with Rock Ridge’s Desai Ferrell Desai Ferrell 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR Loudoun Sports Academy | 2028 State VA and Roanoke Catholic’s Demarcus Brown Demarcus Brown 6'4" | 180 lbs | WR/ATH Roanoke Catholic | 2027 State VA . This was a loaded WR crop, so who ever would be named the top pass-catcher would have had to earn it. I feel, as well as my colleagues and coaches present, that Smoot was the most consistent all throughout camp. Solid testing numbers, fantastic during individuals, even better during 1v1s. Great accelerator downfield, sure hands that can catch the football away from his body consistently. A nuanced route-runner who wants to separate with speed, his strong hands and good hand-eye coordination. Ran three-level routes all event, proving to me and those in attendance that he can win at in a variety of ways. Best wideout in terms of getting open early after release.
