Before Clemson: Smart attended Montverde Academy, where he played alongside Tigers Hamady Diop and Ousmane Sylla. He was the right back and captain of the squad. He has been on trial with several MLS teams and is a member of the U-17 National Team pool. Smart is looking forward to playing at Clemson, and believes that, “the atmosphere at Clemson really fits me and the way I like to play.” Noonan on Smart… “I am extremely excited about Shawn’s prospects in Tigertown. We have tracked him for quite some time, and we know that he can make an immediate contribution to our team. Our philosophy is to create width in attacking half with our fullbacks and Shawn is ideally suited for this.”
