Background

Early life

College career

Smith applied for Florida A&M University in 2017 at the suggestion of his mother, who had attended there. After being accepted, he tried out for the Florida A&M Rattlers football team as a walk-on and ultimately made the team.

He received several honors including first-team All-MEAC, BoxToRow All-American, second-team American Football Coaches Association] (AFCA) All-American, and HERO Sports sophomore All-American. The 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Smith recorded 64 catches for 713 yards and three touchdowns in the 2021 season, being the team leader in receiving and placing sixth in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).
