Nick Smith Jr.

Nick Smith arrived at Arkansas as the No. 3 overall recruit in the country coming out of North Little Rock High School in the 2022 recruiting class. During his senior season in high school, Smith was named the 2022 USA Today National High School Player of the Year, a McDonald’s All-American and was named co-MVP of the Jordan Brand Classic after scoring 27 points. Smith made one of the biggest shots of the season for the Razorbacks in his true freshman season – scoring the game-winning basket against Auburn in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament. Smith used his strong resume entering college to make an impact through NIL, signing with top brands like Lids, Express and others.
