Amaari Smith brings length, experience, and steady secondary upside to Chattanooga
In the 2024 season, Chattanooga DB Amaari Smith logged limited but real game action after transferring from Western Kentucky, where he had already been part of bowl-eligible depth and special-teams work. At 5-foot-11, 174 pounds, he profiles as a lean, agile defensive back with experience and developmental upside rather than a pure stat-sheet stuffer. The best fit here is a program that values versatility, coachability, and a player who can grow into a bigger role without needing the spotlight on day one.
