Chris Smith (born c. 1968) is a former American football player. He grew up in La Canada, California, and began his collegiate career at the University of Arizona. After redshirting during his freshman year, Smith transferred to Brigham Young University. He played at the tight end position for the BYU Cougars football team from 1987 to 1990 and was a member of the 1990 team coached by LaVell Edwards that compiled a 10–3 record and won the Western Athletic Conference championship. With Ty Detmer as his quarterback, Smith set an NCAA tight end record with 1,156 receiving yards; Smith's record stood until 2005 when it was broken by Tulsa's Garrett Mills.[1] Smith was also a consensus first-team selection to the 1990 College Football All-America Team.[2][3]
