Smith attended Notre Dame High School, where he played football, basketball and ran track. He received league MVP and All-county honors in both football and basketball.
He began his college career playing football at the NCAA Division II level at Northwood University in 2010 as a freshman. Smith would later transfer to Riverside City College in his hometown, helping the team to a perfect 11-0 record as a sophomore. At the end of the year, he announced his intention to transfer to NCAA Division I Texas Tech University in 2012.
In his initial season at Texas Tech, he played in all 13 games and logged 55 tackles with 34 solo tackles. His performance would earn him a third-team All-Big 12 selection by Phil Steele.
Smith's senior season in 2013 earned him several accolades. He posted 120 tackles (86 solo), 10.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and a fumble return for a touchdown. His mark of 120 tackles was the most by a Red Raider since the NCAA record setting Lawrence Flugence's in 2002 at 193.
