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 2026-27 athletic year, while providing secondary coverage for football. At UTSA, Smith has covered the 2025-26 American Women’s Basketball Regular Season Championship, the 2026 American Women’s Basketball Tournament Championship, three women’s basketball national postseason appearances, one NCAA Tournament appearance and two football bowl victories. With softball, Smith’s seen a Freshman All-American and an NFCA All-Region performer, while with women's basketball he’s led successful campaigns for an American Player of the Year, an American Newcomer of the Year and an American Coach of the Year. In total, Smith has had 10 All-Conference performers, 15 CSC Academic All-District selections, four National Players of the Week, and an Arthur Ashe Jr. Award winner at UTSA.
In 2025-26, Smith oversaw a sensational run to the American Women’s Basketball Championship that saw the squad win four games in four days, as the six seed, becoming the only NCAA program to beat its conference top three seeds en route to the title. Senior Cheyenne Rowe was awarded the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. UTSA received an automatic bid for the 2026 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championships where they faced No. 1 overall seed UConn in the First Round. That matchup with the Huskies was broadcast live on ABC, with over 981,000 concurrent viewers, peaking at 1.1 million, and the game was the sixth-most watched first round game in tournament history and was part of the second-most consumed first round ever.
With the softball team, UTSA set program attendance records for the third consecutive season, with 12,266 total fans passing through the turnstiles for a new program record and a 23.5% increase from 2025. UTSA had 25 sellouts over 32 home games, averaging 383 fans per game. The Roadrunners’ home slate featured five top-25 opponents, including three Women’s College World Series teams in Texas, Nebraska and Texas Tech. The Roadrunners finished with the eighth-highest capacity percentage in the NCAA at 127.8%, and UTSA had the second-highest total attendance in the American Conference.
Smith played a major role in hosting one of the nation's premier events in 2026, with then-No. 1 Texas, No. 9 Nebraska and No. 25 Washington all visiting San Antonio. Roadrunner Field capacity increased from 300 fans to more than 1,000 for the tournament, as 6,734 fans attended nine games. The Texas/Nebraska game on Feb. 8, 2026, marked the highest-attended event in stadium history, with 1,023 spectators and 959 fans watched UTSA/Texas on Feb. 8, 2026, for a UTSA single-game record. Excluding the UTSA Invitational, records still would have been broken, with 9,936 attendees, up from 7,777 a season ago, for an average of 342, improving upon 262 from 2024.
A highlight of the 2026 softball season included Arlette Hernandez being named Freshman All-American by D1Softball.com and NFCA All-Region following a successful awards campaign.
Adding football to his ledger in 2024, Smith played an integral part in the coverage of the Roadrunners 2026 First Responders Bowl and 2025 Mrytle Beach Bowl victories.
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.
