Jakayla Smith is a feisty 5-foot-2 guard giving MUW instant energy
In the 2025-26 season, Jakayla Smith has flashed as a compact, high-motor guard for Mississippi University for Women, showing scoring pop with 16 points against Eureka, 14 against SLIAC leader, and a clutch 19-point outing versus Blackburn. She stands out for her aggressiveness, rebounding punch for her size, and willingness to attack late in close games—plus she’s clearly not intimidated by bigger lineups. The fit? If a team needs toughness, downhill pressure, and a guard who plays bigger than she is, she’s a fun one to watch.
