Smith had offers from Central Michigan, Bucknell, Lehigh, Yale, and many others but made the decision to play at Colorado State, a member of the Mountain West Conference.
"I would like to thank every coach from youth to high school for believing in me and developing me in to the player I am today," Smith said in a twitter post.
