Rivals ranks Smith as a 3-Star prospect, while the other three national recruiting databases still have him unranked. Rivals ranks him as the #25 overall player in the state of North Carolina (Reagan High School/Pfafftown) in the 2026 recruiting class.

Smith also held offers from Wake Forest, Duke, ECU, UNC and UNC Charlotte to play Football.

NC State offered Smith on June 16th last Summer.

As a Sophomore last year, Smith threw for 2,051 yards and 19 touchdowns.

Smith is NC State’s first commitment in their 2026 recruiting class.
