Maliyah Smith '26 Recruiting Profile

The Person

My college goals are to join a university that combines a great academic experience with a competitive athletic program.  I’m looking for a school that fosters a healthy environment by building strong connections with coaches, professors, and teammates.  I consider myself to be on the drama free side of things and choose not to take part in it whether it’s on the field or not.  I’m not a social butterfly, but I do consider myself a fun person to be around, and easy to have a good relationship with.

The Academic

I have a current 4.06 weighted GPA and I’m really passionate about pursuing a career in sports medicine. I want the ability to expand my knowledge in biomedical sciences and any others that will help broaden my knowledge in the field.  While I haven’t decided on a specific field within sports medicine, I’ll apply the same level of hard work in sports towards my interest in healthcare.

The Athlete 

Currently rostered with OEFC 06/07 ECNL-RL.  Honored to be the 2024 Team Defensive Player of the Year and made 1^st Team All-District in Oklahoma’s largest Highschool division (6A) at Deer Creek Highschool.  As a player, I’m very team-oriented, selfless and pride myself on developing strong connections with coaches and teammates. My size is deceitful but I’m very adaptable and consider myself a dynamic player, always ready to bring my best to the team in any way I can.
