Smith is already showing **impact-level production** with strong ranking placement: MaxPreps lists her in the **top 361 nationally**, **top 29 in North Carolina**, and **No. 1 in 3A** for at least one stat category in the 2025-26 season, which signals real floor-raising value rather than empty box-score volume.
