Smith was a do-it-all star for Imhotep Institute. Not only is Smith uber-talented on the field but his overall football knowledge is second to none. An Imhotep assistant coach told Philly.com “He just understands football and cares about it. He watches film, and when he sees formations in practice more than once. you never fool him twice. He is that kind of kid.”
Smith chose the Mountaineers over offers from Maryland, Michigan State, North Carolina, Syrcause, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Baylor, Kansas, Duke, Minnesota, Missouri, NC State, Pitt, Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and Minnesota.
