Smith-Gordon joined the California Golden Bears men's gymnastics team as a redshirt freshman in 2023 and quickly established himself as one of the program's top vaulters. That season, he broke the school vault record and earned CGA Regular Season All-American honors.
In 2024, he ranked among the top vaulters nationally, recording multiple scores of 14.700 or higher and qualifying for the NCAA Championships final on vault.
During the 2025 season, he won the MPSF vault title and again qualified for the NCAA Championships final, while also earning conference and academic honors.
As a redshirt senior in 2026, Smith-Gordon finished the regular season as the nation’s top-ranked vaulter and set a program record with a score of 14.550, in addition to winning multiple event titles and receiving the ACC Excellence Award.
