BREAKING> Football player Cameron Smith, who previously played as a defensive back at Memphis, has made a commitment to join TCU

TCU concluded a eventful Saturday by securing their third addition to the defensive backfield.

On a productive Saturday in the transfer portal, TCU football secured a commitment from ex-Memphis safety Cameron Smith. He became the third player to publicly announce his commitment to the Horned Frogs on social media that day. Smith boasts a track record of 31 games in three years with the Tigers, amassing 74 total tackles, 10 passes defensed, and three interceptions. His standout performance was in the 2023 season, where he racked up 57 tackles, nine passes defensed, and three interceptions across 13 appearances.

Hailing from Whiteville, North Carolina, the 6-foot, 180-pound Cameron Smith is the second safety transfer to join the Horned Frogs in the current offseason, following former Tulsa defensive back Jaise Oliver. Smith is poised to contend for a starting safety position at TCU in the upcoming season, as the team looks to fill the vacancies left by departed starters Mark Perry and Millard Bradford. TCU faced additional losses in the safety position, with players such as Randon Fontenette, Chace Biddle, and Javeon Wilcox entering the transfer portal.
