Smith put together an efficient and reliable performance, completing 10 of 14 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns. For a player looking to minimize turnovers, this game served as a perfect example of careful, smart play. Smith made accurate reads and maintained steady control over the offense, helping to keep the defense off-balance. His ability to manage the game and avoid costly mistakes was vital, and his efficient play was complemented by a strong ground game, creating a balanced offensive attack. This outing builds momentum for Smith as he heads into the next round, where he’ll need to continue this level of precision. If he can keep defenses guessing and stay sharp in his reads, Smith could be a key asset in Cherokee Trails’ playoff run, adding further pressure to opposing teams with his composure and accuracy.

Smith will be in a QB battle this summer for the starting position as both QB’s played a lot last season. He will need to be more consistent as the offense showed the ability to be explosive when he was on the field. He will need to limit the turnovers but shows the arm strength to make every throw. He excels at the intermediate throws and can make plays with his legs as well.

Smith has that gunslinger mentality and can make big plays happen down the field with his arm. He has the power to fit the ball into tight windows and can extend plays outside of the pocket. He does have the ability to run at times and can be dangerous around the endzone with his feet. He will likely be in a QB battle but has a lot of upside and can be an x-factor with his weapons on the offensive end.
