Added 5.4 rebounds per game and recorded two double-doubles on the season, highlighted by a 19-point, 10-rebound effort against Northern Colorado on Jan. 4 where he shot 9-of-17 from the floor and also added two blocks ... Began his college career at San Jose State in 2018-19, where he led the Spartans in scoring (13.2 points per game) and rebounding (8.5 per game) in 31 games (29 starts) ...

Steadman reached double-figures 23 times that season, including 11 double-doubles and six 20+ point nights.

Coach McCall on Michael Steadman: "Michael is a high character kid who brings great size and length to our lineup. Offensively, he is very skilled in the post and capable of stretching the floor from three while also guarding pick and rolls and protecting the rim on the defensive end of the floor."
