Elijah Smith brings senior-level glass work and defensive edge to North Central’s front line
In the 2025-26 season, Elijah Smith has been a steady two-way forward for North Central (MN), starting all 32 games while averaging 19.9 minutes, 4.6 points, and 4.3 rebounds, with team-best 41 offensive rebounds and 23 steals plus 16 blocks[2][5]. He’s not a volume scorer, but he adds value the hard way: energy, second-chance chances, board work, and disruptive defense that coaches love in a glue guy[2][7]. If you need a rugged, high-motor forward who helps possessions tilt your way, Smith is a smart fit.
