Herman Smith (1986-90) is simply considered one of Kennesaw State's first elite student-athletes. With 1,683 career points, he is the Black and Gold's all-time leading scorer and was the second member of the Owls 1,000 Point Club. During his four-year career with the Owls, Smith won a number of awards including earning back-to-back NAIA All-District and All-Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selections in 1989 and 1990. Smith began his career playing on the second-ever team at Kennesaw State and was a member of the first winning team in his junior season of 1988-89. In his senior season, Smith became the first KSU player to lead the team in points and rebounds in the same season and is one of only five players to ever accomplish the feat. Smith continues to be the Owls career leader in field goals made (691), field goal attempts (1199) and games played (120). He is second in free throws made (301) and attempted (432). He also holds a spot in the Top 10 of many single season categories including points per game (21.0), points (652) and field goals made (268); all set during his outstanding senior season.
