As a recruit, Smith was considered a consensus four-star prospect and was rated as high as No. 39 overall in the class of 2018. Out of high school, the elite wideout prospect committed to Ohio State over Kentucky, Alabama, Michigan, Michigan State, and Penn State, among others, though most recruiting analysts felt his decision came down to the Buckeyes and the Wildcats.

After putting his name in the transfer portal back on March 22, it was eventually reported that Smith was deciding between Cincinnati and Kentucky to finish out his college career.
