In his junior season, Smith ranked 20th in Division III with a conference-best average of 0.47 doubles per game. He concluded the 2024 season on a 17-game streak of reaching base and a 10-game hitting streak. Smith was tied for third in the United East Conference with team-leading stats in slugging percentage (.635) and doubles (15). He also ranked sixth in the league with a team-high on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 1.099.
Smith’s contributions to the team were significant, leading St. Mary’s College with a .464 on-base percentage, 30 RBIs, 14 multiple-hit games, nine multiple-RBI games, and four home runs. He also ranked second on the team with a .375 batting average, 66 total bases, 39 hits, and 14 walks, and was third in at-bats (104) and stolen bases (4).

He matched career-highs of five assists and two doubles in a game versus Lancaster Bible College on May 6. Additionally, he recorded a personal-best of five RBIs against Penn College on April 19 and a season-best three putouts at Salisbury University on April 24.
