Connor Smith brings size, rebounding, and streaky shot-making to Earlham’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Earlham guard Connor Smith has been a steady rotation piece who impacts the glass and can pop for scoring bursts, including 4.0 points and 8.0 rebounds per game on ESPN’s 2025-26 season line, with Earlham also listing him at 148 points, 7.0 points per game, and 89 rebounds in team stats; earlier in 2024-25, he posted a career-high 20 points at Berea and later had 13 points with four rebounds against Anderson. He looks like a rugged, high-motor guard who can help a team with toughness and rebounding, though the shooting has been uneven, so the fit is best for a coach who values defense, physicality, and glue-guy energy over pure efficiency.
