KeAndre Lambert-Smith is an American football wide receiver for the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Lambert-Smith grew up in Norfolk, Virginia and attended Matthew Fontaine Maury High School.[1] As a senior, he gained over 1,500 yards from scrimmage and scored 26 touchdowns as Maury won the Group 5A state championship.[2] Lambert-Smith was rated a four-star recruit and committed to play college football at Penn State over offers from North Carolina, Ohio State, Clemson, and Georgia.[3]
Lambert-Smith caught 15 passes for 138 yards during his true freshman season, which did not count against his eligibility because of coronavirus pandemic.[4] He had 34 receptions for 521 yards and five touchdowns during his redshirt freshman season.[5][6] Lambert-Smith caught three passes for 124 yards and one touchdown in the 2023 Rose Bowl as a redshirt sophomore, including a Rose Bowl record 88 yard reception.[7][8] He finished the season with 24 receptions for 389 yards and four touchdowns and also completed two pass attempts for 73 yards and one touchdown.[9]
