It’s time for Frisco (Texas) Reedy high school three-star receiver Kaleb Smith, one of the most talented playmakers in the Lone Star State, to announce his next and final commitment. After weighing his options, the class of 2023 prospect has narrowed his recruitment down to two finalists, Notre Dame and Texas Tech, and his decision will come on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 6 pm ET.
The 6-0, 175-pounder spoke with 247Sports about each of his two finalists. You have Notre Dame, the school that grabbed his attention later in the process and opened his eyes during an official visit to South Bend. You also have Texas Tech, the program he was once committed to and a school that he has had nothing but love for since day one.
So, what is one of these two lucky schools getting in Smith? What can fans expect from the playmaker?
“I think I could bring speed, obviously speed, but I think I raise our players level of play to another level,” said Smith. “Just with my competitiveness, I’m always pushing my teammates to be better. I get on the field, obviously I know what I’m doing, but I’m making sure this guy and this guy know what they’re doing, making sure we can execute it the right way and get something out of it.”
According to MaxPreps, Smith has 43 catches for 649 yards and 5 scores through 10 games. The team has played 13 games to date, so these stats don’t reflect is total production as a senior this fall.
Per 247Sports, Smith has an overall rating of an 88. He’s currently just shy of a four-star ranking. He’s also the No. 65 receiver nationally and No. 74 overall talent in the state of Texas this cycle.
Stay tuned to IrishIllustrated.com Thursday night to see where Smith decides to go.
