One of Notre Dame’s football commitments in the Class of 2026 is on the move ahead of the 2025 football season.
Tennessee native Chaston Smith is transferring from McCallie to Knoxville Catholic for his senior season, according to Knoxville Catholic head coach Philip Shadowens.
The three-star defensive back spent two years at Bearden prior to his junior year at McCallie. He is the No. 25 cornerback and No. 313 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and committed to Notre Dame last December while holding offers from Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, LSU and Vanderbilt among others.
The move brings the 6-foot-1, 175-pounder closer to home, as his mother is an administrator for Knox County Schools and his brother serves as cornerbacks coach at Catholic. Smith played in just five games last season at McCallie due to injury, but he recorded five tackles, an interception and two pass breakups.
