College career

Smith was the starting cornerback for three years at the University of Kentucky.[1] Prior to the 2006 season, Smith was dismissed by Kentucky after he was found to be in violation of team rules.[1] Subsequently, Smith finished his collegiate career at Weber State.[1] During his brief tenure at Weber, Smith played well enough to receive an invitation to the 2007 NFL Combine.[1]

A hamstring injury at the combine would sideline Smith who was unable to generate interest from any NFL teams following the injury.[1]
