The 6-foot-1, 170-pound Smith, a Brownsburg native, played one season for the Golden Hurricane, appearing in all 12 games as a true freshman and catching 12 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns.

Through 11 games this season, the TinCaps were the Midwest League's least powerful team. They hit just one home run in those games, while all 11 other teams on the circuit had at least three in that span. On Thursday, that all changed: Fort Wayne blasted four home runs – two from Rosman Verdugo to give him three in the last two games – and rolled to a 9-1 victory over Lake County that represented a single-game season-high in runs scored for the denizens of Parkview Field.
