SAU’s steady, high-IQ guard with a sharp academic edge
In the 2024-25 season, Nevi Tell gave Southern Arkansas a reliable two-way backcourt presence, starting 20 of 28 games and contributing 105 points, 81 rebounds, 59 assists, and an .840 free-throw mark; in 2023-24, he showed bigger scoring pop with 135 points and 80 assists while shooting .444 from three. The fit factor: he’s a composed, pass-first guard who can stretch the floor, defend his role, and bring strong classroom discipline too—earning academic honors along the way. Not flashy, but very much the glue-guy type coaches love.
