Taylor Smith gives Loyola New Orleans a steady, versatile two-way spark
Taylor Smith is a 2025-26 freshman guard-forward for Loyola New Orleans who appeared in 21 games and averaged 8.5 minutes for a nationally ranked Wolfpack squad, while also contributing as a javelin thrower in track and field. The appeal is the blend: a multi-sport athlete with a track background, a strong academic profile, and the kind of adaptable, energy-first skill set coaches love off the bench. She has less volume than a featured scorer, but the versatility, competitiveness, and upside make her an intriguing fit for a team that values depth, effort, and flexible lineups.
