2026 CA QB Brady Smigiel (Florida State Decommit)

What is with the QB talent coming out of SoCal? Seriously.

And is it wrong to have back-to-back Brady's coming to the OSU QB room;-)
As long as I have followed recruiting, SoCal has always cranked out top QBs like no other. I can't tell you why that is (maybe population and the consistent warm weather to throw the ball in all year?) but I am just glad we are seriously tapping into that pool of talent.

And no, it would definitely be acceptable to have back-to-back Brady's :) Fingers crossed on this one and you hope Kelly's visit is correlated with the decommitment, would be a heck of a follow up to TSC and then you have Edmonds in '27...yikes.

Initially, I would guess year round nice weather and a large population created an environment for QBs to develop. That led to high schools slinging it around more, which sped up development. Then, private coaches started to become a thing, and many are located there. Now, it's a self sustaining ecosystem.
