Senior Spotlight: Najee Smothers, Class of 2026 🔥

Najee has been part of the BlazeSports family for the past 8 years, making an impact both on and off the court through basketball, tennis, and track and field. Throughout his time with BlazeSports, Najee has grown into a strong leader, learning the value of patience, perseverance, and leading as both an athlete and teammate.

One of Najee’s proudest accomplishments is winning a silver medal for Team USA Handball at just 17 years old. Najee plans to attend Southwest Minnesota State University, where he will continue his wheelchair basketball career.

Najee can be described as athletic, passionate, and a natural leader, bringing energy and determination to everything he does on the court.
