Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Just two weeks after he helped Radnor win the PIAA 3A state title, the uncommitted Smith, who posted a goal in an assist in the state championship game, was back on the field minus the Raptors’ decorated Class of 2024. At NHSLS, Smith quickly adapted to his new role as the primary offensive initiator for Radnor as he recorded nine goals as well as seven assists and was named to the All-Tournament team. His three-goal, two-assist effort against Chatham (N.J.) was extraordinarily impressive. Smith is a fast and athletic midfielder with incredible change of direction moves. His accurate shooting and well-timed decisions make him a threat to score or distribute in the open field. Simply put, Smith excels in transition. In settled action, Smith plays with poise and composure. His quick first step and crafty dodges enable him to blow past defenders to create scoring opportunities for himself or his teammates. At NHSLS, there were numerous possessions where Smith also displayed the ability to carry the ball behind the net and generate opportunities for Radnor from X.

Read EvaluationCarey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Last spring, Smith notched seven goals and 10 assists as a reserve on a stacked Radnor squad that captured their third consecutive 3A state title. The summer served as his breakout period. Smith started his summer by being selected as an all-star at The Show. He then continued to turn heads with his two-way skills at marquee summer events like NHSLS and NLF. Smith is an extremely fast, athletic (he also plays basketball), and elusive middie who thrives in the open field. When Smith is on the run, he can ping corners or draw the defender and then move the ball to the open teammate. His ability to execute a dodge or simply change direction at full speed is impressive. In settled action, Smith is an initiator who plays with poise and a high IQ. This past October, Smith was an All-Star selection at the Apex Fall National Showcase.
