One of the best pass rushers Nebraska has had, Smith was fourth in the Big 8 in quarterback sacks, with seven and a half for 50 yards in losses, in 1987 and earned All-America honors from the Sporting News. All-Big 8 according to the Associated Press and United Press International, he was a second-team All-American on both AP and Football News. Nebraska forth-leading tackler in 1987, he was credited with 65 total tackles, including 12 for losses totaling 63 yards. Also caused two fumbles, recovered another, blocked a field goal at Colorado, broke up three passes, and had an interception at Missouri. Co-captain shared the team lead in tackles against Oklahoma State, but saved his best game for the final at Colorado. Named Big Eight Defensive Player-of-the-Week for performance against the Buffs in which he had a team-leading and career high 12 tackles (including nine unassisted, two for losses of 15 yards, and a 12-yard sack), recovered a fumble to blunt a Colorado drive, and blocked a field goal.

1986 (Junior)
Smith played most of the season as Nebraska’s third defensive tackle behind three-year starter Chris Spachman and Lee Jones, but played roughly as much as the other two, a fact reflected in the 49-tackle total, higher then those of Spachman or Jones and seventh-best on the Huskers’ second-ranked defense (235.6 total offense yards per game). He ranks third in tackles among returnees behind DE Broderick Thomas (58) and CB Charles Fryar (52). Top tackle games were 10 each vs. Colorado and Oklahoma. He was among the team leaders in tackles for losses (10 for 55 yards) and sacks (5 for 41). Playing in his hometown of New Orleans, he started in place of Jones in the 30-15 win over Louisiana State in the 1987 Sugar Bowl, recording five tackles, including two for losses of eight yards.
