Emma Smith is App State’s do-it-all glue guard
In the 2025-26 season, Emma Smith has emerged as App State’s engine: a high-minute senior guard who leads the Mountaineers in rebounds, assists, steals, and often scoring too. She’s posted 10.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 steals, and 34.0 minutes per game, while ranking among the Sun Belt’s top 10 in multiple categories and handling the ball cleanly with one of the league’s better assist-to-turnover marks. The fit is obvious for a team needing toughness, pace, and two-way reliability—she looks like the steady, competitive, low-drama guard who makes everyone else better.
