His father was an Irish TE, after all.
Not sure if it was an academic issue or just a recruiting decision. ND was "involved" at one point. ND did not take a TE in the class of '16, but got a high 4* in both '15 and '17 at the position (Mack & Kmet). Smith was a 3*, so this board probably wouldn't have wanted him.

I'll be more precise: Does anybody know why Irv Smith Jr., son of Irish star TE Irv Smith, did not come to Notre Dame? Bad grades, perhaps? Would have been cool to have him.
