“Keegan Smith can absolutely dominate a soccer game. Her ability to control everything in the air makes her special. She’s always a threat to score on set pieces and corners. You know a player is good when the opposing team and coaches know what she is going to do, game plan to stop her and still can’t.”

Arin Belden

Head Coach - head coach of Dansville High

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot senior midfielder led the Rams to a 21-1 record and the Class B state championship this past season. Smith scored 28 goals and passed for 14 assists, netting six of Haverling’s seven goals in three state tournament games. Also the Class B Player of the Year, she plays keeper for her club team but played the field for the Rams, concluding her prep soccer career with 89 goals and 59 assists. She was a United Soccer Coaches All-American selection and is ranked as the No. 103 recruit in the Class of 2024 (as a goalie) by TopDrawerSoccer.com.

Academic Achievement

Smith maintained an A-minus average in the classroom. Taking advantage of NCAA early signing rules, Smith inked a financial-aid agreement that paved the way for her to enroll early at the University of Arkansas. She graduated from high school in December and attended classes this spring semester.

Exemplary Character

The class vice president since seventh grade, Smith has volunteered locally as a youth soccer coach and referee.
