Last season at Columbia, Smith averaged 22.8 points, 4.5 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game. He’ll be stepping into a vacancy left by former Wolverines guard Zavier Simpson, who’s eligibility expired following the 2019-20 season.
Smith will have one season of eligibility remaining, after missing most of his junior campaign at Columbus due to injury. It’s a big addition for Juwan Howard and the Wolverines.
In Howard’s first season as head coach, Michigan posted a 19-12 record with a 10-10 mark in B1G play.
