The defensive back is the 19th commitment in the Wildcats’ 2023 recruiting class. The group ranks No. 51 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 6 in the Pac-12.

Arizona currently has commitments from two other safeties alongside Smith. They are Katy (Texas) three-star Arian Parish and Inglewood (Calif.) Justin Johnson. Additionally, the Wildcats have commitments from two other defensive backs in Midland (Texas) Lee three-star cornerback Canyon Moses and Plano (Texas) Prestonwood Christian three-star cornerback Carter Stoutmire.

Smith is also Arizona’s second pledge this month. The other is Wilsonville (Ore.) Lakeridge three-star defensive lineman Tristan Davis.

Of Arizona’s 19 commitments, one is a four-star, 16 are three-stars and two are unranked. The highest-rated prospect in the Wildcats’ class is Colorado Springs (Co.) Vista Ridge four-star quarterback Brayden Dorman, the No. 325 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus.

Smith has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.9K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
