Northern State’s 6-5 bench spark who can score in bunches
In the 2025-26 season, Marshawn Smith has emerged as a high-upside guard for Northern State, averaging 15.0 points in early-season ESPN stat tracking and flashing efficient shot-making at 6-5 with a 50.0% mark from three on that sample. He’s a microwave scorer who can flip a game fast, like his 31-point outburst against Minnesota Crookston and 27-point night versus Southwest Minnesota State, and he’s also shown he can create impact off the bench rather than needing a starring role. If your team wants size, scoring punch, and instant offense, he’s the kind of guard who makes the bench look like a cheat code.
