Black History Month Spotlight: Tommy Smith

featured articles Feb 13, 2022

Smith had a similar experience with lacrosse. “I agree with her 110 percent,” he said. “It really is like you have a built-in buffer a little bit. You don’t have to join a frat, because the team is your frat or sorority. It’s definitely an advantage.”

Overall, he said, he loved his time on Grounds. “I can’t speak enough about the people that I’ve met and I’ve stayed in touch with,” said Smith, whose friends include Tom Henske and the former Anna Yates, who played men’s soccer and women’s lacrosse, respectively, at UVA. “There weren’t a whole lot of bad memories, if at all.”

After graduating from UVA, where he majored in sociology, Smith moved to New York. He eventually landed with ESPN, where he worked in advertising and marketing for 13 years. He later worked at the Tennis Channel for about two-and-a-half years.

Smith and his ex-wife have joint custody of their three daughters, who live with their mother near Norwalk in Wilton, Conn. He didn’t play professional lacrosse after graduating from UVA, but he’s become active in the sport again, this time as a coach.
