The Blessed Trinity Titans are putting together an undefeated season, sitting at a dominant 10-0 and looking every bit like the favorite to play in the state championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Among the key contributors is senior receiver Quinn Smith.
Standing 6’2″ and 183 lbs. with an imposing 6’4″ wingspan, Smith has been an absolute nightmare for opposing defensive backs all fall. He has balled out in a major way, hauling in 47 receptions for 887 yards and 12 touchdowns, an incredible touchdown for every catch the senior makes.
Smith’s explosive playmaking was recently showcased again on the site, earning him 3rd place in the Top 10 Plays of the Week. On the play, Smith exploded up for a leaping grab over the middle, demonstrating exceptional coordination and reactions, then dropped his shoulder to steamroll the defensive back and left pursuing defenders in the dust for a touchdown.
With the postseason just beginning, Smith’s individual goals are locked right alongside his team’s championship aspirations.
“We have a great opportunity in the playoffs and are looking to win state,” Smith said. “I would say my goal for receiving has gone up since last game. I tied the school record for single-season receiving TDs last game with 12. My goal, I would say, is 17 now. And also, the school record for receiving yards is 1,271—I’m hoping to get over 1,300 by the end of the year. I’m at 887 now.”
When asked what sets him apart from other prospects, the senior standout pointed directly to his physical traits and mental processing on the field.
“I would say my ball skills and ability to catch anything that comes my way separate me from others,” Smith explained. “I have a 6’4″ wingspan and [am] able to have a very big catch radius. And I would also say I am a high-IQ player and able to find soft spots in defenses and know where to be.”
College coaches are taking notice of his blend of length, production, and football IQ. Smith’s recruitment is picking up steam at the right time, highlighted by new scholarship offers coming in this week from both Carson-Newman and The Citadel, alongside ongoing interest from programs like Samford.
No doubt, Smith is having one of the best seasons of any receiver in 5A, and is on his way to All-State honors. His length and twitchiness make Smith a legit deep ball threat and will be instrumental in Blessed Trinity’s push to a state title. In fact, we expect to see him make an impact on defense during the playoffs, which is worth monitoring, so be to follow @RecruitGeorgia on Twitter/X to hear more on Smith’s record-breaking season, and standout players from all around Georgia.
