Auburn Offers Bergen Catholic Kicker Bryce Smith
Auburn University has extended a scholarship offer to Bergen Catholic kicker Bryce Smith, a rising senior in the Class of 2025. Smith, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound specialist, has been a key contributor to the Crusaders' success, boasting a career 85% field goal percentage and averaging 45 yards per punt. The talented kicker has also drawn attention from other top programs, including Penn State and Rutgers, which offered him in April. Smith's impressive performance in the spring showcase has further solidified his position as one of the top kicking prospects in the state. With the 2024 recruiting cycle just around the corner, Smith is expected to remain a top target for several Power Five programs, with a decision potentially coming as early as the fall. Recruiting experts anticipate a busy summer for Smith as he attends camps and showcases, further showcasing his skills to college coaches.
