Chance Beard brings veteran length, toughness, and low-drama glue-guy value to UAB
In the 2024-25 season, Chance Beard was a 6-foot-5 graduate forward on UAB’s roster, but his impact profile looks more about maturity, versatility, and system fit than headline stats. He is the kind of experienced, Birmingham-grown piece coaches like because he understands his role, adds frontcourt size at 200 pounds, and comes with a track record of Division I and Division II experience that suggests resilience and professionalism. If you need a hard-nosed rotational forward who can buy into winning habits and won’t need the ball to matter, Beard is a sensible fit.
