MTSU’s Long-Range Specialist and Defensive Spark with Elite Steals Upside
In the 2025-26 season, Alec Oglesby (G, 6-5) anchors Middle Tennessee’s perimeter with a team-leading 2.0 three-pointers made per game and a season-high 5 steals, including a 5-steal explosion vs. Charlotte on Jan. 1, 2026 [2][6][9]. Averaging 8.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 24.1 minutes across 30 appearances (17 starts), he’s a high-intensity guard who thrives in transition and off-ball spots [2][4]. His differentiator is elite defensive instincts—led the team in steals per game—and a knack for knocking down long 3s when defenses collapse [6][9]. While his 40.7% FG% and 0.9 AST suggest limited playmaking, his energy, spacing, and steal volume make him a perfect fit for teams needing a disruptive, low-maintenance 3-and-D guard who elevates intensity without demanding touches [2][8]. No reported injury history; known for relentless hustle and coachable demeanor.
