Auburn Legend Turned Graduate Assistant, Not Current UT Arlington Maverick
No active Bryant Smith plays guard for the UT Arlington Mavericks in 2025-26; the notable college hoops name is Auburn's former star (1996-99), who averaged 13.3 PPG and 2.4 SPG as a junior with 67 steals (tied 4th in school history), captained the 1999 SEC champs (29-4 record, No. 2 ranking), and now serves as a graduate assistant helping the 2025 Tigers chase glory—leadership and defensive tenacity define him, but he's coaching, not playing, so not a fit for your active roster needs.
