BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Jordan “Turbo” Smith recently completed his first professional basketball season overseas in Georgia, playing for Team Free UNI.
Smith grew up in Titusville, Florida, and at an early age, fell in love with scoring touchdowns before he discovered his passion for getting buckets on the basketball court.
Once Smith found his love for basketball, his hard work and natural skill began to shine. He became one of Brevard County’s top talents as a middle schooler, playing for Jackson Middle School and AAU squads Florida Basketball Club and Chandler Parsons Elite.
Smith proved that putting up big numbers in middle school was no fluke. As a Titusville Terrier, he quickly made a name for himself, averaging 30 points per game on the freshman team and 22 points per game on varsity over his first two years of high school. As a junior, Smith made a major decision to transfer to West Oaks Academy in Orlando. Although he realized he would not be scoring as much as he did at Titusville, he recognized that the experience and competition at West Oaks would be invaluable to his development as a player.
After high school, Smith took the junior college route and attended nationally ranked Dyersburg State Community College in Tennessee.
Known for his scoring, Smith said his time at Dyersburg also helped him develop into a true point guard and team leader. After two successful seasons—averaging 20 points, four assists, and four rebounds per game—Smith transferred to Glenville State University in West Virginia. Once again proving he could dominate, Smith averaged 17 points, five assists, and five rebounds per game at Glenville State.
Smith’s quick ball handling and deep shooting ability caught the attention of professional clubs overseas. In November 2024, he signed his first professional contract with BC Kavkasia Tbilisi in Georgia. However, his time with Kavkasia was short-lived, as he was released less than halfway through the season. Team Free UNI quickly recognized Smith’s potential and signed him immediately. Smith made the most of the opportunity, averaging 24 points, seven assists, and five rebounds per game.
Now, Jordan Smith is setting his sights on attracting NBA scouts and earning an opportunity in the NBA G-League. This summer, he will be competing in the Miami Pro-Am and the Aces League in Orlando, which feature talented college and professional players from across the country.
