I was surprised at the more I watched of Smothers I saw the patience of Wisner, but in a more explosive body. Theres a lot of similarities there imo

Very much a strength.

Definitely what I’m looking most forward to is an Arch Manning who doesn’t need to shoulder the load for the entire offense

My favorite thing about the two is they should absolutely coincide together. Smothers in the 1st six games last year: 4 100-yard games 31 missed tackles forced 20 rush attempts of 10+ yards Smothers in the final five games of the year: 0 100-yard games 18 missed tackles forced 4 rush attempts of 10+ yards

Absolutely loved him on the first half of last year

I think Arch will enjoy Smothers as a checkdown option. Catch and run for a score.

Love this vision

Don't let Smothers play Campbell again...

A lot of credit to the NC State OL here. Great duo and climb from the LG & C, but the TE and LT create a massive running lane. All smothers has to do here is make the alley safety miss, which he does and he’s off to the races.

Split zone. Find your lane, cut and go. Could easily see Goosby & Siani with that kickout block in space.

You will notice Smothers is at his best reading and setting up blocks once he gets to the second level. Another instance here.

the vision and cutback here is great. Smothers behind last year’s offensive line would have helped tremendously, given this was common place off the LOS. Add in the breakaway speed.

I would love to see the reverse end zone shot here. Because how did Smothers find a way out of this one in the backfield? Regardless, patience is going to be a common theme here

Taking a Look at Hollywood Smothers' Fit in the Texas Offense *** Earlier in the week, we took a look at Raleek Brown's fit in the Texas offense. Today, it is Hollywood Smothers' turn. Smothers was a 1st Team All-ACC honoree at NC State. In 2025, Smothers ran for 939 yards and six touchdowns on 160 rush attempts. Out of the backfield, Smothers also hauled in 37 receptions for 189 yards and a touchdown. Enjoy some highlights here. -- I wanted to share some All 22 clips from the 2025 season showcasing Smothers', while also giving an idea of how it may translate to the Steve Sarkisian offense in 2026.

Just so good. GOAT
