About Christopher
Expert Analysis
Pat Weider | Prep Redzone Scout
Chris Smiley is a talented quarterback who flashed some elite skills last year as a quarterback. He is equally as good at running with the ball as he is throwing the ball. He has excellent mechanics and throws a good football. In particular, he throws a good deep ball where he puts a good amount of touch on the ball. As a runner, he is a tough runner to bring down. He is a physical runner who is good on designed run plays or when the play breaks down to scramble around to make a play. He shows elite skills inside and outside the pocket.

Read EvaluationMatthew Layton | Prep Redzone Scout
2025 Ellwood City (PA) quarterback Christopher Smiley was the best QB in attendance at the Bethany College Prospect Camp in my eyes. Smiley measured in at 5’11 165, but flashed a big arm for a smaller QB that could stretch the field and could also rip it with high velocity on short and intermediate routes. The lefty gunslinger also posted quality testing numbers with a 4.9 40 and the second-best pro shuttle time of the camp with a 4.39. Smiley throws a very pretty ball with a tight spiral and was the most consistent quarterback in attendance throughout the day. He’s an effortless thrower and did a nice job leading his receivers and hitting them in stride while also having accurate ball placement on his passes.
All of those traits show up on his junior highlight tape where he posted a respectable 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns season in 2023 in Pennsylvania’s Class AA. Smiley was an unfamiliar name to me before the camp from covering WV, but he’s an under-the-radar quarterback name to know in PA.
