Rockets' Smith Soars to Power 4 Offer
Miami Central's Carson Smith, a Class of 2027 defensive end, has etched his name in the program's history books as the first player to earn a Power 4 offer. The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder recorded 12 sacks and 25 tackles for loss as a sophomore, showcasing his dominance on the edge. Smith's impressive performance was on full display during the spring evaluation period, where he consistently displayed a quick first step and the ability to bend around tackles. His offer from Florida State marks a significant milestone for the Rockets' program, which competes in the 7A classification. With a strong summer camp performance, Smith's stock continues to rise. Scouts are now watching to see how he handles the increased attention and how he adapts to the physicality of the Power 4 level. Will he be able to maintain his production and become a game-changer on the national stage?
