In his senior year.
IMHO, he's Geno Smith from last year. Has put together a nice career (though his sophomore season wasn't nearly as good as this season), is coming off a very good bowl game performance and should carry that into this next season.
He's not tall, and looks to be shorter than his listed 6'1".
But he's a solid footbally player who should really jump up the charts next season. I think he'd be foolish to declare and be a fourth/fifth rounder this year versus a potential first rounder next year.
The QB class next year is thin. He could really take advantage of that with another solid year under center.
And if you want to see a potential guy for the year after, Utah State sophomore Chuckie Keeton is the absolute man. Johnny Maziel got all the hype, but Keeton is every bit as good.

Both are exactly the same size. They look like identical twins in terms of them on the football field when the whistle blows.
That said, Geno Smith is still far and away the better pro prospect.
