Coming to Carrollton from Presbyterian alongside head coach Steve Englehart is Liam Smith.
Smith was the Blue Hose defensive line coach and defensive recruiting coordinator, a position he will also hold for the Wolves. While at PC, he coached a total of three All-Conference selections on the defensive line in 2024 and 2025.
Prior to his stint at Presbyterian, Smith was at The Citadel where he began in 2020 as a quality control position before ultimately being promoted to defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator in 2021.
In 2021, he saw one of his players, Carson Hatchett, be named Freshmen All-American.
Smith’s stop in Carrollton is the third with Englehart as he was also under him at Florida Tech in 2018 and 2019, coaching the Panthers’ defensive line and outside linebackers. While there, he coached Adonis Davis to All-American honors, and Davis now serves as his assistant defensive line coach.
In 2017, Smith was in quality control and Director of Player Personnel at Fordham.
The four seasons prior, Smith was on staff at Georgia State in two different capacities. Smith was a defensive graduate assistant coaching safeties and linebackers from 2013-15 and then was the Director of Player Personnel and Pro Liaison during the 2016 season.
A native of Mahwah, New Jersey, Smith was a student assistant on staff at Rutgers for four seasons while earning his bachelor’s degree in history.
