Ryan Smith brings veteran 6-11 size and old-school center toughness to Tulane
Ryan Smith is a 6-11, 250-pound senior center for Tulane, giving the Green Wave a true interior body with size, physicality, and experience in the 2025-26 season. He stands out more for his rim protection, screen-setting, rebounding presence, and ability to anchor a defense than for flashy scoring, which makes him the kind of glue-big coaches love. The biggest question is upside versus mobility, but if a team wants a mature paint defender who can battle every possession, he’s a useful fit.
