Larry Smith serves as Wide Receivers for University of Arkansas's Football program in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Smith has been tabbed to lead the Arkansas wide receivers by Head Coach Ryan Silverfield. Smith spent the last three seasons as the wide receivers coach on Silverfield’s Memphis staff after joining the Tigers from UAB.
The Tigers’ receiving corps was led by transfer Cortez Braham Jr. in 2025. Braham Jr. earned First-Team All-American Conference honors after leading the team with 63 receptions for 889 yards and eight touchdowns. Memphis’ top four pass catchers all came from Smith’s room with Braham Jr., Jamari Hawkins (34 catches, 591 yards), Marcello Bussey (24, 253) and Brady Kluse (21, 230) combining for nearly 70% of the Tigers’ receiving yards. Memphis posted the program’s second consecutive 10-win season in 2024, going 11-2 with a Frisco Bowl win over West Virginia.
