Five-star edge rusher from Thompson High School, committed to Auburn choosing the Tigers over powerhouse programs including Georgia, Florida State, USC, Ole Miss, and South Carolina
Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 235 pounds, Smith is known for his elite length, athleticism, and explosiveness off the edge. In his senior year, he tallied 89 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, and 10.5 sacks, playing a key role in Thompson’s run to the Alabama 7A state title. His ability to also drop into coverage makes him a valuable addition to Auburn’s defensive versatility
Smith’s decision strengthens Auburn’s 2025 recruiting class, which is ranked among the top five nationally. He joins his Thompson teammate Anquon Fegans, further bolstering the Tigers’ defensive unit
