2025-26 stats: 20.2 ppg and 5.6 rpg
The 6’7 sophomore forward tripled his production compared to his freshman campaign, earning NEC Player of the Year honors. Smith shot 35% from deep and nearly 90% from the free throw line, in addition to a 40-point outing against New Haven in league play. The Massachusetts native also had 21 on the road at Rutgers, showing he can score against high-major competition.
31. DeSean Goode - Robert Morris

The 6’8 sophomore forward was the Horizon League Player of the Year, leading the conference in rebounding and scoring 9+ points in the final 23 games of the season.
