It’s pretty wild to think about just how deep and talented De Smet was this winter — and that Foulk may have been their most productive player when it was all said and done. While Jordan Boyd Jordan Boyd 6'4" | SF De Smet Jesuit | 2026 State MO and Ian Thomas Ian Thomas 6'4" | PG De Smet Jesuit | 2026 State MO drew a lot of attention — and rightfully so — it was Will who led the Spartans in scoring and consistently had the ball in his hands.

De Smet finished 27–5 and captured a state championship, running through the tournament in impressive fashion. Foulk averaged 15 points, along with two rebounds and two assists per game, and those numbers carry even more weight considering the level of talent around him. He showed a real feel for the game with a knack for finding the ball, making timely shots, and keeping others involved.

This summer will be an important opportunity for him to take the next step and show he can produce at an even higher level — especially with the expectation that he’ll have the keys to the De Smet offense next winter. After picking up early offers from SIUE and Southeast Missouri, he’ll have a chance to build on that and attract more attention in the months ahead.

Quite possibly the best true point guard you’ll see in Columbia, Foulk brings speed with the ball and plays at a terrific pace in transition. He can be tough for defenders to contain off the bounce, using his quickness and craftiness to get where he wants on the floor. Around the rim, he’s deceptive, finishing in ways that can catch defenders off guard and throw off the timing of shot blockers.

Foulk also does a great job facilitating offense, consistently getting De Smet’s other key pieces involved as a willing passer and setup man. He’s shown his scoring ability all season, whether it’s knocking down deep threes or pulling up comfortably in the mid-range. With his ability to control the tempo and create opportunities for both himself and his teammates, Foulk should be the one leading the way for a talented De Smet team looking to get back on top in Columbia.
