Smith announced his transfer to the Irish on Dec. 21. In four years in Blacksburg he amassed 74 receptions for 1143 yards and seven touchdowns. His senior campaign could arguably be considered the lone bright spot of the Hokies’ 2022 season, as he posted nearly three times as many receiving yards (674) as the next three leading receivers combined (718).
