Jordan Smith Jr. ’26
PVI is proud to spotlight Jordan Smith Jr. ’26, an accomplished student-athlete whose excellence on the court is matched by his leadership in the community.
A 2026 standout, Jordan has earned national recognition as the Naismith Boys’ High School Player of the Year and MaxPreps National Player of the Year, while also being named Virginia’s Gatorade Player of the Year. Beyond basketball, he serves as a peer mentor and Black & Gold Ambassador, embodying what it means to lead with purpose at PVI. Jordan earned the Lumen Cordis Award, Latin for "Light of the Heart," which recognizes those who lead with a spirit of radical inclusion and compassion by shining a light on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Jordan has used his national spotlight as a top basketball player to lift up students with disabilities and support Special Olympics.
Jordan will be playing Division 1 basketball at the University of Arkansas in the fall.
