Houston's Dual-Threat QB Leader in Big 12 Completions
In the 2024 season, Donovan Smith started all 12 games for Houston, completing 64.5% of his passes (256/397) for 2,801 yards, 22 TDs, and just 2 INTs in his final stretch, while adding 241 rushing yards and 2 scores—ranking 3rd in Big 12 completion % and 4th in completions/game. This gritty dual-threat standout thrives against ranked foes (6 of 12 starts), delivering poise under pressure with low-turnover efficiency that screams NFL potential; ideal for teams needing a mobile, accurate field general who elevates offenses without the prima donna vibe.
