Troy Smith (born July 30, 1977) is an American former professional football wide receiver. He was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round of the 1999 NFL draft and later tore his ligament in his leg on a 14-yard reception thrown by Koy Detmer in a game.^[1] His leg could not be healed, which forced him to discontinue play in the National Football League (NFL).^{[citation needed]}

He played basketball and football at Junius H. Rose High School and continued playing both sports at East Carolina University (basketball in his freshman year and football in his sophomore, junior, and senior years).

He is now the head coach of the Hope Middle School Mustangs football team in Greenville, North Carolina, the same town where he was born and raised.^{[citation needed]}
