Noah Smith: Ironman Spirit
Don Bosco Prep's Noah Smith, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound running back, averaged 7.2 yards per carry in the Ironmen's spring jamboree, showcasing his explosive burst off the line. The Class of 2026 back has been on a remarkable recovery path after tearing his ACL midway through his junior season. Smith's determination and hard work have paid off, as he's earned a starting role heading into the 2026 season. The Non-Public A powerhouse has high expectations for Smith, who will be relied upon to anchor the Ironmen's ground game. As a dual-threat back, Smith's ability to make plays in space and break tackles will be crucial to Don Bosco Prep's success. NJSIAA scouts are watching for Smith to build on his spring performance and demonstrate his ability to maintain a high level of production over the course of a full season. His versatility and athleticism have drawn attention from college programs, and Smith will look to prove himself as one of the top running backs in the state.
