Early life
Smith was raised in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by his parents, Wayne and Karen Smith. He is the youngest of six children. When he was born, Karen was pressured by nurses to name him immediately, in accordance with hospital policies. After praying, she came up with the name Jonnu. He began playing Pop Warner football at age 5.
Smith endured a lot of challenges as a youngster in Philadelphia. After his brother was arrested and one of his friends was killed on the streets, his family didn't have the financial means to uproot. For his own safety, he moved in with his maternal aunt and uncle in Ocala, Florida. He started playing high school football at West Port High School, and even though he was far from a touted recruit he earned a scholarship to Florida International.
