Noah Smith

Smith was perhaps one of the only bright spots in Sam Houston's 2023 offense, which made it worrisome that he could seek out greener pastures via the transfer portal. The 5-foot-10 wide receiver instead decided to stay with the Bearkats for what could be his final season after tallying 79 receptions for 783 yards and six touchdowns. Following Keegan Shoemaker's graduation, Smith will team up with a new starting quarterback in Jase Bauer, who found success in his part-time starting role at Central Michigan last year. Smith also contributes more on the ground than the average receiver, rushing 27 times for 102 yards and a pair of touchdowns last season, marking the third time he's tallied at least that many carries in the last four years. Assuming Smith continues to provide dual-threat production, he should slot in among the better fantasy wideouts again in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
