Quietly intriguing Delta Devils back with freshman upside
Jalen Smith is listed as a freshman running back for Mississippi Valley State in the 2025-26 roster cycle, with a compact 5-9, 176-pound build that suggests quickness and balance more than brute-force power[1][2]. The biggest reason to care: fresh legs, local roots in Itta Bena, and the kind of low-visibility profile that can pop if he earns touches in a run-heavy spot—though public stat tracking is sparse, so his current on-field résumé is still a wait-and-see rather than a proven star line[1][2][3].
