Two-way guard with proven point-producing upside and game-changing steals
Sam Vinson is a high-minute, high-impact Northern Kentucky guard whose value goes well beyond scoring: in the 2024-25 season he averaged 10.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and team-leading totals in assists (136) and steals (54), showing real lead-guard utility on both ends [5][3]. His calling card is disruption and versatility—he has long been one of NKU’s best perimeter defenders, with a track record of piling up steals, and he also carries a reputation for toughness after returning from an ACL tear that ended his 2023-24 season [13][11]. He fits best with teams that want a steady, experienced connector who defends, creates, and competes every possession [5][13].
