Eli Beard made one of the more dramatic leaps in college basketball this offseason, going from Division III's Mary Hardin-Baylor to CAA-member Drexel as a senior. The 5-foot-11 guard from Big Sandy, Texas was a two-time All-State and three-time All-Region selection in high school at both Big Sandy and Seminole High School, then poured in over 1,000 points across two seasons at UMHB. He averaged 22.3 points per game for the Cru, shot 42.3% from three, and set UMHB's single-game ASC Tournament scoring record with 44 points — the second-highest single-game total in program history. When his coach departed UMHB, Beard entered the portal and his coaches' connection to Drexel's staff opened the door to his Division I debut.
