Smith will suit up for his second season with the Green and Gold after injuries cut short his 2025 campaign. The two-time Grey Cup Champion defensive lineman has been one of the best National pass rushers in the CFL for over half a decade. In 90 career games, Smith has racked up 143 defensive tackles, 20 sacks, one interception, and three forced fumbles — including back-to-back six sack seasons in 2023 and 2024 prior to his injury shortened first season with the Elks.
