Expert Analysis
Alin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Kade is a wide receiver who stands out for his speed and ability to stress defenses vertically. Once he gets into open space, he can quickly separate from defenders and force the secondary to stay honest at all levels of the field. On film, he shows strong acceleration off the line, clean stride length, and the ability to hit top gear fast, which makes him a consistent big-play threat whenever he touches the football.
He’s also starting to show growth in his overall receiver skill set, including improving his route pacing and learning how to set up defenders before breaking deep. While his speed is his calling card, he’s becoming more comfortable working underneath and finding ways to stay involved when defenses take away the deep ball.

Read EvaluationCole Dobbins | Prep Redzone Scout
Part of a dynamic duo of sophomore playmakers for the Panthers, Smith served his role as an elite gadget “wide-back” type player in the big win over DeSoto. He was impressive at all levels of the field, serving as a safety valve for both QBs in the screen game and in the flats. Smith displayed polished and explosive footwork that complements his incredible 4.3 speed. Kade also reeled in an impressive late 2nd quarter TD catch in the back corner of the endzone. The Panthers’ star has all the traits to be a dynamic slot receiver at the next level. Smith has received 10 offers from schools such as Duke, SMU, and Arizona.
