Chase Smith gives Iowa State reliable kicking production with room to grow
Smith has been efficient in limited action for Iowa State, going 2-for-3 on field goals and a perfect 12-for-12 on extra points in 2025, while also flashing long-range potential with a 38-yard make.[1][4] His differentiators are consistency on routine kicks, solid size for the position, and strong athletic traits in EA’s ratings—especially speed, acceleration, stamina, and toughness—which suggest a kicker who can handle pressure and cover ground well.[2][7] If you want a young specialist with upside and clean early production, he’s worth a look.[1][2]
