Maealiuaki Smith brings live-arm upside and youth to Ole Miss QB room
In the 2024 season at Oklahoma State, Maealiuaki Smith flashed real upside as a true freshman, completing 44 of 74 passes for 489 yards with 2 passing TDs, 4 interceptions, and a rushing score after earning starts in the final two games. His best moment came against Texas Tech, when he threw for 316 yards and 2 TDs, showing the arm talent and poise that made him a high-upside recruit. At Ole Miss, he’s a developmental quarterback worth watching: accurate enough to stretch the field, mobile enough to create, and still early in his growth curve.
