Smith spent the previous three seasons with the Rebels, making his first appearance in a game in 2023. He appeared in two games with one tackle last season.

Smith joins the Blazers with two years of eligibility remaining. Ole Miss' 2023 roster had him listed at 6'3" and 295 pounds.

UAB enter their second season in the American Athletic Conference and their second under the direction of head coach Trent Dilfer. The Blazers finished the 2023 campaign with a record of 4-8.

Last season, Mialovski completed 182 of 305 passes for 2,764 yards and 30 touchdowns with five interceptions. Mialovski is San Diego State's first commit of the 2025 class. He'll have his first chance to sign his National Letter of Intent on December 4, 2024.

After mutually parting ways with longtime head coach Brady Hoke earlier this offseason, former Kent State head coach Sean Lewis has taken over the position. He'll look to help the Aztecs improve after a disappointing 4-8 season in 2023.
