Expert Analysis
Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Among the ’28s that I evaluated for the first time at IMLCA, Smith was the most impressive, in addition to being the most productive. He dazzled with the ball in the stick, thriving both as a goal-scorer and a passer, drawing the eyes of the defense and then tossing a pinpoint pass to the back pipe in a Sunday win over Prime Time. Unofficially, I had the Orlando native down for six goals and two assists in two games against top competition, including a five-piece against a talented Project Midwest group. In particular, I was blown away by his poise, flair for the dramatic, and knack for making the guys around him better. He darted through traffic and finished under duress, finished at 5 and 5, and got it done with both hands with regularity. He’s excellent without the ball, too, executing some downright beautiful cuts then finishing in close. Simply put, when Sweetlax needed a play, Smith was the one making things happen and making defenses look silly in the process.
