Expert Analysis
Matthew Layton | Prep Redzone Scout
2029 Capital DL Cartier Smith made an impact on both sides of the ball as a freshman, but his future may be brightest along the defensive line. Smith was one of the top performers at our Exposure Series and showed why he ranks among the top young interior DL in the state. He brings 5’8 360 size to the middle of a defense and is difficult to move off the ball. Offensive linemen are forced to match his physicality every snap, and he can clog running lanes when teams try to attack inside. Smith’s size and power make him a unique prospect in the class, and a player offenses will have to account for throughout his career.

knows how to get after the quarterback from the defensive tackle spot. I watched him over power several lineman during the 1v1, he was one of the strongest kids on site. Smith is a rising sophomore that could see a lot of action this fall, he could honestly dominate the line of scrimmage.

has just one game of highlights to evaluate from his freshman season at Capital, but keep a close eye on him moving forward. A full evaluation will come in the future once he produces more film, but the early signs show that Smith will be at the top of the 2029 OL list. He has good early interior OL size and earned varsity playing time as a freshman this season.
