Alabama’s veteran guard-leader who won with defense, toughness, and glue-guy energy
Andrew Steele was a steady, defense-first Alabama guard whose value went well beyond scoring; in the 2012 season, he returned from lingering concussion issues and helped the Crimson Tide by bringing leadership, hustle, and poise in big moments. Across his Alabama career, he played in 94 games with 20 starts, earned the team’s Hustle Award in his final two years, and was named captain in 2012-13. If you want a tough, high-IQ connector who makes teams steadier, Steele is your guy.
