Steve Lutz and the Cowboys added a talented wing from the junior college ranks on Saturday night.
First and foremost, I want to thank God for guiding me throughout this process ! I would also like to thank Coach Lutz and Coach Page for giving me this opportunity. With that being said I will be continuing my basketball journey at Oklahoma State University!After finishing his career with the Panthers in 2023, Smith spent the 2023-24 season at Coffeyville Community College in Coffeyville, KS.
The Putnam City North product averaged 8.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game while shooting 40.5% from the floor and 30.8% from 3-point range as a true freshman. Smith scored a season-high 16 points against Seward County Community College in February, getting to the free throw line 13 times to help lead the Red Ravens to a 90-79 victory.
Smith followed up the aforementioned performance with a 14-point outing against Barton Community College that saw the athletic wing shoot 4-of-7 from the field, 1-of-2 from beyond the arc and 5-of-6 from the free throw line. The former Team Griffin EYBL standout knocked down multiple 3-pointers in five different games as a true freshman, four of which came in an eight-game span.
Listed at 6-foot-7 and 195 pounds, Smith is a good athlete and has great size and length on the wing. The Oklahoma City native's combination of size, length and athleticism gives him the potential to become a solid defender a the Division I level.If Smith is able to develop into a decent shooter and defender, he could eventually serve an important role for the Cowboys as a "3&D" wing.
