The 6-foot-2-inch, 188-pound Smith is rated by as the 15th-best prospect in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. 

Smith becomes the seventh prospect expected to play defensive back at ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, joining Canyon Moses, Solomon Davis, Carter Stoutmire, Arian Parish, Gavin Hunter, Sean Brown and Justin Johnson. Moses, Hunter, Parish, Johnson and now Smith are players who will likely play safety in 2023. 

The bulk of the Wildcats' 2023 recruiting class is on defense. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ has five defensive line commits, along with a pledge from Hawaiian linebacker Kamuela Kaaihue. 

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ has 19 players — 14 of them on defense — committed for 2023.
