A native of Corpus Christi, Texas, Smith will handle primary responsibilities with the UTSA women's basketball, softball, men's tennis and cross country programs for the 2025-26 athletic year, while providing secondary coverage for football.
Smith penned a historic 2024-25 UTSA women's basketball campaign that culminated in an American Conference Regular Season Championship and an at-large selection to the Women's Basketball Invitational Tournament. He saw Karen Aston named American Coach of the Year, while Jordyn Jenkins received the Conference's Player of the Year accolade and Nina De Leon Negron the Newcomer of the Year award. Jenkins later became the first Roadrunner to sign a contract with a WNBA franchise, doing so with the Las Vegas Aces.
He created and led a successful attendance campaign titled "The Last Dance", designed to honor Jenkins and De Leon Negron as graduating seniors, in the same vein as the popular Netflix documentary. The campaign, which coincided with the team's championship celebration, was a resounding success, as 2,250 fans filled the arena. A school-record 15,372 fans passed through the turnstiles across the season, and an average of 1,152 was also a new program benchmark. Additionally, Smith played a part in UTSA receiving its first-ever vote in the Associated Press National Poll on March 10, 2025.
With the volleyball team, Smith helped the Roadrunners welcome 13,794 fans into the Convocation Center, marking a new total attendance record for the second consecutive season. The softball program also reached new heights, setting a school record for season tickets, and since taking over the sport, season-ticket sales increased by 204 percent.
Smith served as the Assistant Local Media Coordinator at the 2025 Men's Final Four, and also assisted the baseball program across an NCAA postseason run, including providing coverage of the 2025 Austin Regional Championship and 2025 Los Angeles Super Regional appearance.
In 2023-24, Smith oversaw a women's basketball season that featured a dramatic improvement, eventually seeing an at-large berth to the Women's National Invitational Tournament and the program's first-ever National postseason victory via an 80-62 win over Northern Colorado in the first round.
He joined the Roadrunners after spending six years at Texas A&M-Kingsville, where he transitioned into a full-time role following stints as a graduate assistant and student intern.
There, he got his start covering the cross country and track and field programs before taking on football, baseball, women's basketball, volleyball, and beach volleyball duties, with responsibilities in social media, story writing, game-day preparation, management, and media releases.
At TAMUK, he spearheaded the coverage of the Javelinas' 2018 NCAA Division II Men's Outdoor Track and Field National Championship, as well as nine NCAA Postseason Tournaments across three sports. Additionally, he saw 37 student-athletes receive All-America status, four individual National Champions, two National Athletes of the Year, and one National Coach of the Year.
Smith also assisted with hosting the 2019 Lone Star Conference, South Central Regional, and Super Regional softball brackets, along with the 2019 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
He graduated from TAMUK with his Bachelor of Science in kinesiology in May 2021 and received his Master of Science in kinesiology in December 2022.
