A LaGrange, Ga. native, Smith previously played two seasons at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College in Hutchinson, Kan. He posted 14 catches for 140 yards as a sophomore.

He has one season of eligibility remaining.

Florida Atlantic, UTEP, Louisiana Tech, Arkansas State, Nevada and New Mexico State had offered since he entered the portal, while Kentucky was also involved.

Clemson moved fast, first reaching out a couple of days ago before bringing him in for a campus visit Monday.

As we reported, the Tigers had eyes on receiver candidates following the transfers of Troy Stellato and Noble Johnson.
