Details of the contract are not yet available.
Smith will be joining other former Tide products in Dallas, such as star wide receiver Amari Cooper and newly-signed safety HaHa Clinton-Dix.
Smith only played one season in Tuscaloosa as a junior, but chose to forgo his final year of eligibility to enter the 2019 NFL Draft.
In that one year with Alabama, the cornerback accumulated 60 total tackles, five pass deflections, three interceptions and a defensive touchdown.
There was plenty of criticism thrown at Smith after he decide to forgo his senior season. He later went undrafted and spent his rookie season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Smith will likely serve in a rotational role with the Cowboys, but it’s not outside of the realm of possibility that he could eventually work his way up to a lead role in the secondary.
