Expert Analysis
Elise Minor Benton | Prep Redzone Scout
David “Deuce” Smith enters his senior season as one of the most productive and dynamic returning quarterbacks in Georgia. As a junior, Smith threw for 2,355 yards and 24 touchdown passes, averaging over 180 passing yards per game, while completing around 64% of his passes and posting a 108.9 passer rating numbers that ranked him among the top passers in Region 4-AAAAAA and in the state overall. He made big-time plays throughout the season, including a 307-yard, five-touchdown performance in a 50–3 win over Newton and leading multiple long scoring drives in key games.
With that résumé, Smith heads into his final year ready to take another leap as the clear leader of the Grayson offense. He’s proven he can manage a high-powered attack, make throws in clutch moments and keep defenses on their heels — and now the expectation is he’ll elevate his team even further in 2026. As a senior, Smith isn’t just looking to put up big stats again; he’s aiming to guide Grayson deep into the state playoffs and leave a lasting legacy on a program known for competing at the top of Georgia’s toughest classifications.

, the junior QB took the reins and started cooking for the Rams, throwing for over **2,200 yards with 24 touchdown passes, completing nearly 67 % of his throws and putting up a 108.9 passer rating while leading Grayson’s high-powered offense. He’s had highlight nights too including a 307-yard, 5-TD performance in a blowout win and key plays to keep the Rams rolling. While he’s still in uncommitted prospecting mode on the recruiting trail, multiple college coaches have already taken notice of the dual-threat playmaker who’s been named All-Region at QB and is drawing increasing chatter as a 2027 talent to watch. Smith’s calm leadership and production stepping up for a defending state champion squad is exactly the kind of performance that gets programs circling his name.
