Ja'Laiyah Smith brings size, bench punch, and rebounding juice for Lincoln (PA)
In the 2025-26 season, Ja'Laiyah Smith is a junior forward for Lincoln (PA) at 5'10" and has already shown a useful bench role: she scored 3 points with 1 rebound in the opener against Coppin State and later added 7 rebounds and 5 points in a February loss to Bowie State. Her value looks like hustle, interior effort, and versatility more than volume scoring—she can help a team with energy, rebounding, and toughness. If a roster needs a physical, team-first forward who embraces dirty work, she fits the mold.
