Devon Smith: Bishop Gorman's First Power 4 Offer Recipient
Bishop Gorman Gaels' 5A powerhouse has consistently produced top-notch talent, but one player is making headlines as the program's first Power 4 offer recipient: Class of 2027 offensive lineman Devon Smith. Smith's impressive performance at the 2026 Las Vegas Elite 11 Camp showcased his dominance, where he measured a 4.9-second 40-yard dash and 7.2-second 10-yard shuttle. His speed and agility have scouts reevaluating the traditional OL mold. Smith's versatility and ability to block in the run game and pass protect have drawn comparisons to top OL prospects. With the Power 4 offer from a top program, Smith's recruitment is heating up. As the Gaels prepare for the upcoming season, scouts will be keeping a close eye on Smith's development, particularly how he adapts to the team's new system and his ability to anchor the line in key situations. What scouts are watching for: Smith's ability to maintain his speed and agility throughout the season, as well as his growth in pass protection and run-blocking techniques.
