I’d take Beach over Smothers every day. I'll have to disagree again. Smothers is the best WR I've seen play in MD not named Diggs. Jalil Farooq was the best wr I've seen in Maryland. But imma check Smothers out. I thought Prather was nice too.

That was in HS. Beach has out performed him in college. Beach has outperformed him in college due to Smothers dealing with off the field issues, Beach is a great receiver but there’s more nuance to it. Couldn't have said it any better.

I wish I could share screenshots here. Early in Beach’s senior season, I texted my good friend Chauncey Winbush, the AD at Shepherd, and said to him that Beach, then uncommitted with few offers, would be a great fit for the Rams, and sent some film. He texted me back ten minutes later and said after talking to the coach that they did indeed have interest. Chauncey too was once a star receiver for the Rams in the early 90s, after graduating from Hammond. He went on to be an Associate AD at Navy before coming back to his alma mater. He’s done a great job there. Great fit for Beach. He’s been incredible, and I always kid Chauncey, “I told you about that kid!” LOL!
Smothers was a great talent. His name brought me back to the Baltimore Sun message board days. That seemed a decade ago. Man, those people hated St Frances! Fewer people than handles. Another > LOL!

Perfect and have lots of examples as Ryan Beach goes to the correct division 2 team Shepherd University and will be an All American WR after this year playing on a Solid D2 school and now weighs 188lbs instead of his high school weight 164lbs .. Smothers was a good WR and still weighs 160lbs and is playing on D3 Because of more than academics for sure ! this is one of the worst takes I’ve seen on here… I couldn’t see a a world where it’d make sense to tell a kid with multiple ACC and SEC offers (full rides not partials or PWOs) that you’re better off going D2 or D3 lol. 2 completely different situations, I don’t think Beach had any power 5 offers (may be wrong idk)

Speaking of this, whatever happened to both Northwest WR’s Ryan Beach and Darryl Harper Jr @ Shepherd? Neither were ion the roster is mind boggling especially after Beach’s All-American season.

Beach had to medically retire. Concussions? Beach had a couple knee issues, but no concussion issues from what I heard. I was told as soon as he committed there that he had eyes on joining the military at some point. After 2 years he did exactly that. Harper I don't know. It doesn't look like he resurfaced anywhere as a transfer. Most likely a grades thing or maybe just wasn't for him and he wanted to do something else.
