Vernon Smith was one of the key building blocks to head basketball coach Shelby Metcalf's famous "Wall".
Smith, a power forward with a great shooting touch, led the Aggie basketball team to the Sweet 16 in 1980 helping defeat North Carolina before losing an overtime game against eventual national champion Louisville. The four-year letterman (1978-81) was named All-SWC three straight years and was a team captain his senior season.
He scored 1,778 points which is still one of the highest totals in school history, and Smith still holds the school career rebound record with 978 boards.
