Listed at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Smith-Brown was offered by West Virginia shortly after entering the transfer portal on April 16. He then took an official visit to WVU a few days later before eventually committing.

In three seasons with South Carolina State, Smith-Brown caught 81 balls for 1,196 yards and scored seven touchdowns. He had a breakout year in 2024, making 54 receptions for 749 yards with four touchdowns.

Smith-Brown has one more year of eligibility remaining and now joins former North Carolina Tar Heel Christian Hamilton.
