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.

Smith is a true two-handed quarterback attackman who thrives as the offensive catalyst from behind the cage. A natural playmaker at X, he operates with poise and precision, dissecting defenses with his elite vision and ability to feed in tight windows. His ambidexterity makes him unpredictable, equally comfortable initiating and finishing with either hand. Beyond his passing, Smith showcases elite hands around the crease, finishing with touch and creativity in traffic. He’s the type of attackman who elevates everyone around him, blending IQ, composure, and execution to keep the offense in constant rhythm.
