UTEP QB Shay Smith: promising freshman with upside, but limited college production so far
Shay Smith is a **freshman** quarterback at UTEP whose current profile is defined more by upside than volume; available 2024 game-log data shows only a small rushing sample in the opener at Nebraska, while ESPN lists him as a freshman on the roster. The main reason to care is developmental potential: he’s still early in his college career, so his fit depends on how quickly he can grow into the position’s decision-making, consistency, and durability demands rather than on proven stats.
