Alex Smith remains a Utah standard-bearer — efficient, poised, and historically elite
Alex Smith is no longer a current Utah player, but his Utah profile still screams blue-chip QB impact: in the 2004 season he led the Utes to an undefeated record, threw for 2,952 yards and 32 touchdowns, and finished his Utah career with 5,203 passing yards, 47 passing TDs, 1,072 rushing yards, and 15 rushing TDs. His differentiators were efficiency, composure, and dual-threat control — he paired a 164.4 career passer rating with a 47:8 TD-to-INT ratio, making him the prototype of a smart, low-drama, high-ceiling quarterback.
