2026 Brady Smigiel 5* QB from Newbury Park, CA

[AlexCane]

This is my buddy’s brother-in-law’s nephew. Follow that? Haha. My buddy went to UM. He says he’s a really good kid. He texted me about him several months ago when he learned he was like the #2 qb in the nation. He had no idea.

Toughness, arm talent, excellent pocket presence and willingness to extend plays. Not a super athlete but his feet maneuvering the pocket are super advanced for his age. Lots to like about this tape.

Visiting on Saturday could be an extended trip.

I love everything about this kids tape. Had the opportunity to watch a full game when Smigel's Newbury Park team faced Oak Park during Smigel's freshman year. I was blown away by his maturity, toughness, leadership abilities not to mention his size, arm talent, pocket presence, the ability to see the field and the ability to manage the game. Smigel was so advanced for his age it was shocking. I also loved his ability to extend plays and create/improvise plus the ability to escape pressure and use his feet to gash the defense/gain yards/1st downs. I said in another post that Smigel gives me Ben Roethlisberger vibes and I'm not backing off of that. Obviously I'm not saying that Brady Smigel will be a 1st round pick and have a Hall of Fame career. I am saying that Smigel reminds me of him and that there are a lot of similarities. Brady Smigel is a fantastic QB prospect and I would love to have him as our QB commit and class ambassador.

Ya love to see it. I did not want to deal with this kid for 3 to 4 years

They’re trying to cope on their boards. Now, this kid is a good QB but not a fit for Gus’ system, and it’s the best move for both sides.

He must have realized he had no chance of getting a ring with FSU

FSU is dead.

FSU is dead.

The fact that they couldn't follow up the 2023 season with another 10 win season has set them back a LONG way. Terrible job of Norvell reading the room last offseason.

This was one of the main things I was so concerned with after our bowl games after what we saw from Emory. Thankfully Mario is doing the portal the right way and we look in better shape to follow up on a 10 win season.
