Aaliyah Smith brings Blue Tigers a true paint anchor
In the 2025-26 season, Aaliyah Smith gave Lincoln (MO) a hard-nosed interior presence, including a 10-point, 15-rebound double-double in the finale and multiple games with strong rebounding and shot-blocking. She’s a 6-2 center who fits the “rim protector plus rebounder” mold: Lincoln’s coach called her a strong presence in the middle, praising her ability to rebound, alter shots, and finish inside. That combination makes her a useful fit for teams that value physicality, second-chance chances, and dependable defensive effort.
