USC’s kicking game has been steady, but Brad Smith’s individual profile is still thin
I couldn’t verify a 2026 USC kicking stat line for a USC kicker named Brad Smith from the available sources, and USC’s published team kicking numbers in the 2025 season were strong overall: 21-of-25 on field goals and 50-of-50 on PATs. The most useful read here is that USC has been efficient on special teams, so a kicker in this room would need consistency, range, and nerves in pressure spots to stand out. If Brad Smith is the player you mean, he looks like more of a fit-for-role prospect than a headline-grabbing star—good if you want reliability, but there isn’t enough verified public evidence here to claim more.
