| He's arguably the most physically gifted quarterback in the state of Florida this year for the Class of 2009. He's 6-4, has a big arm, and has a real nice release. He's gotten a lot more comfortable in the pocket this season as a senior as well. He still needs to work on his throwing motion and he's missed games due to suspensions in the past but there's no debating that Smith's a big time talent. -- Mike Bakas |
