In his new role, Smith will provide in-depth analysis on college football games, offering insights drawn from his experiences as a player in both college and the NFL. His ability to break down complex plays and offer a unique quarterback perspective is expected to enhance ESPN’s coverage, especially regarding quarterback development and offensive schemes.

Speaking about his new position, Smith expressed excitement about the opportunity to stay close to the game. “Football has been a huge part of my life, and I’m thrilled to join ESPN to share my passion and knowledge with fans,” he said.
