Freshman guard Kelly Schmidt adds depth and defensive juice for Purchase
In the 2025-26 season, Kelly Schmidt is listed as a freshman guard at SUNY-Purchase, giving the Panthers a young backcourt piece with room to grow and potentially carve out a role through energy, discipline, and positional flexibility[1][2]. Publicly available roster data confirms the 5-foot-3 Montgomery, N.Y. guard’s presence, but there are no reliable stat lines yet, so the main value here is projection: a developmental fit for a team that wants a guard who can learn quickly, compete hard, and bring steady effort every night[1][2].
