Four-star QB Carter Smith commits to Wisconsin

Fort Myers (Fla.) Bishop Verot On300 quarterback Carter Smith has committed to Wisconsin. The former Michigan commit chose the Badgers over Florida State, UCF and others.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Smith becomes commit No. 25 for head coach Luke Fickell and his program in the class-of-2025. He took an official visit this past weekend which included the game against Oregon.

“The staff was able to squeeze in everything we wanted to see in this very short window, can’t say enough about them,” Smith’s father Dan said. “We had a great conversation with Coach Fickell.

“The atmosphere last night was like something I’ve never seen before and I’ve been to some pretty crazy venues.”

Wisconsin had On3’s No. 24 ranked recruiting class prior to Smith joining the fold.

The On3 Industry ranks Smith as the nation’s No. 15 quarterback and No. 203 prospect overall. He is the reigning Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Florida.

As a senior in eight games Smith has completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,299 yards and 12 touchdowns. He’s added another 480 yards rushing and 11 scores.

A big junior season included 2,223 yards through the air and 29 touchdowns with 715 yards rushing and 19 more scores.

Smith is a four-year varsity starter with nearly 9,000 passing yards, 2,500 rushing yards and 140 total touchdowns.
