Charles Power raves about two coveted sophomores from Alabama

Name/Position: EDGE Jared Smith

School: Spain Park in Hoover (Ala.)

Height and Weight: 6-foot-5.5, 225 pounds

Notable Offers: Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, Miami, Michigan, Mississippi State, West Virginia

On3 Grade: 91

Charles Power Scouting Summary: “The Hoover (Ala.) Spain Park EDGE prospect measured in at 6-foot-5.5, 225 pounds with 35.5-inch arms on the summer camp circuit,” Power wrote of Smith: “He pairs that big frame and elite length with plus athleticism for a prospect who just turned 15 years old. Smith made some flash plays against strong competition at Spain Park as a freshman and also shows off his athleticism on the basketball court.

Name/Position: ATH Derick Smith

School: Southside High in Selma (Ala.)

Height and Weight: 6-foot-2, 190 pounds

Notable Offers: Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Ole Miss

On3 Grade: 91

Charles Power Scouting Summary: “You’d be hard-pressed to find a 2025 prospect who stuffed the stat sheet more than athlete Derick Smith,” Power wrote of Smith. “The Selma (Ala.) Southside standout caught 57 passes for 1,197 yards and six touchdowns and picked off an amazing 13 passes as a safety. Smith already shows advanced ball skills with the ability to come down with acrobatic catches in traffic on both sides of the ball. He supplements those ball-hawk tendencies with a physical edge as a defender and the ability to take it to the house after the catch. Simply put, Smith looked like a grown man playing among children as a freshman.”
