Carter Smith

Scrappy, dual-threat quarterback prospect that finds ways to win games. Enters senior season with 36 career starts under his belt and plenty of accolades. A bit unorthodox as a passer with his lower release point and off-platform launch points, but has proven to be a rather effective distributor on the move. Can generate plenty of whip with his torso and attack the sticks, but must improve the ball placement when operating inside the pocket as he tends to miss low or wide. Spirited as a runner and isn’t one that’s going to shy away from contact. Has also shown that he’s not afraid to throw a block if the opportunity presents itself, and has even got some snaps on the defensive side of the ball. Should be viewed as a mobile signal caller with tools to mold. Is likely going to need plenty of time to improve the mechanics and the footwork, but has what it takes to elevate a Power Four offense that wants to move the quarterback around and get them involved in the run game.
