Smith announced he would be entering the Transfer Portal on November 27th.

He played in 10 games this season, but only caught 2 passes for 19 yards, with both of those catches coming in the final three games. He was originally a 3-Star prospect in the Pack’s 2020 recruiting class, out of Huntingtown, Maryland.

Due to his height and speed, heading into almost every season since he arrived in Raleigh, there has been an expectation that Smith might break out. Unfortunately, it never happened, though…
