Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Another name to know in the 2028 faceoff class is Drake Smoter. He’s gone head-to-head with — and beaten — many of the top specialists in his class during his time with Mad Dog National, True National, and the Faceoff Academy. This fall, he transferred to Culver, where he’ll be able to train year-round against a deep group of specialists, which should only accelerate his development.
His bread and butter is winning the clamp and pushing it forward, or getting it out to his wings when teams try to counter. With the ball, he has enough speed to win the race to groundballs, pull away from opposing specialists, and escape pressure with defenders on him. Right now, he’s pretty automatic inside five yards, and as his range continues to grow, his offensive value will follow. Smoter is trending toward being a Division I prospect in the 2028 class.
