Jaxon Smolik Scouting Summary

Charles Power

07/05/22

Jaxon Smolik was a late addition to the Elite 11 Finals and made the most of the opportunity. The Tulane commit showed he belonged alongside the nation’s best and got better and better each day. Smolik had one of the better 7-on-7 sessions on Thursday, with On3 charting him on target for 9 of 17 passes for three touchdowns and one dropped interception. Smolik got hot during the middle of his turn, ripping two impressive touchdowns in rapid succession. He spins the ball well and throws with velocity. The West Des Moines (Iowa) Dowling Catholic signal caller looks like a steal for the Green Wave.
