Smith checks in at 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, and held offers to Alabama A&M, Howard and Texas Southern. Other schools showing interest included Baylor, Houston, Navy and Washington.

Smith is unranked in 247Sports’ database.

As a junior, he tallied 2,150 all-purpose yards and scored 20 touchdowns, earning District Offensive MVP honors. Smith runs a 4.5 40-yard dash, benches 275 pounds, and squats 405 pounds.

The staff has been making an effort to dig into Texas and it appears to slowly be gaining momentum there in this 2018 class. This is Arizona’s sixth commitment of the class and third on offense.

On Tuesday, Arizona landed junior college offensive lineman Maisen Knight. The 6-foot-5, 300 pound lineman expects to be eligible to play in the 2017 season.
