(‘17) wins Superbowl with Kansas City Chiefs

The

University School of Jackson could not be more proud of Alumnus Trey Smith who not only helped lead the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Superbowl in 2023; but also goes out of his way to encourage students in his hometown.

After his Superbowl win, Smith returned to Jackson for a special “Trey Day” organized by the City of Jackson in his honor. During his visit to West Tennessee, he was a special guest at several elementary schools in the area including our own Lower School. Trey gave high fives, toured classrooms and took dozens of photos with students and teachers. It was a great day at USJ for everyone!

While at USJ, he was a three-time AllState offensive lineman. Regarded as a five-star recruit, Smith was ranked as the No. 1 prospect overall in the class of 2017 by ESPN. He chose Tennessee over scholarship offers from Ohio State, Ole Miss, Alabama, and a host of others.

Smith played college football at the University of Tennessee before he was drafted by the Chiefs in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He was named to the NFL All-Rookie Team for the 2021 season. In 2022, Smith started 16 regular season games and the Chiefs’ three playoff games. Smith started at right guard in Super Bowl LVII and solidified an offensive line that gave up zero sacks in the game as the Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35.
