Sam Howard brings efficient, steady guard play to Vanderbilt
In the 2026 season, Sam Howard is averaging 9.7 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 45.6% from the field, giving Vanderbilt a compact, efficient backcourt option[1]. What makes him interesting isn’t just the scoring line: he’s a Nashville native who knows the program and plays like a low-drama connector rather than a volume-chucker, which can be gold for lineup fit[1][4]. If your team wants a guard who can score without hijacking the offense, Howard is worth a look[1].
