Smart, who first served as a graduate assistant under Dave Clawson at his alma mater and then spent the 2025 season on Clark Lea's Vanderbilt Commodores staff, is going to the NFL to join the defensive staff of the Green Bay Packers.

At Vanderbilt last season, Smart served as a defensive pass rush specialist for the Commodores, who won a school-record 10 regular-season games.

He'll join the defensive staff of new Green Bay defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon.
