For much of the past decade, Paul VI Catholic has consistently produced Division I talent for the ACC, Big East, and Big Ten. The program’s East Coast pipeline is especially strong between the DMV and Durham, North Carolina. Since Jeremy Roach in the 2020 class, Duke has landed four Top-40 prospects from PVI, including current sophomores Patrick Ngongba and Darren Harris. Jordan Smith — a Duke target and former teammate of both — has the potential to be the best of the group.
Heading into his senior season, Smith, a Top-5 Prospect in the 2026 class, is coming off an impressive offseason. He started for a dominant Team USA squad at the FIBA U19 World Cup in Switzerland and showcased his scoring ability at Nike EYBL and Peach Jam.
Let’s take a deeper look at Smith’s game to see what makes him one of the most promising two-way guard prospects in recent memory.
