📍 Quince Orchard Cougars·Monday, July 6, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Quince Orchard Cougars linebacker Hunter Smith is a force to be reckoned with on the field, but his impressive stats are matched only by his impressive GPA. The 4A standout recorded 12 tackles for loss in his junior season, earning him a spot on the All-Montgomery County second team. Off the field, Smith maintains a 4.0 GPA, a testament to his dedication to both academics and athletics. The Class of 2026 recruit has already received interest from several Division I programs, including Maryland and Virginia Tech. As he enters his senior season, Smith will look to build on his already impressive resume. Scouts are watching for him to improve his pass-rushing skills and become a more dominant force in the backfield.
